I went to her graveside dedication, never been to one before. Like many things in the gospel it was simple, yet profound and powerful.
I thought Molly was my treasure, for years she had been sand to me, and I thought everyone else saw her as sand.
Then I got to be her neighbour and serve with her. I saw her lustre she was a pearl. I had a pearl and I cherished her. I wasn't worried about losing my treasure because I'm sure everyone saw her as sand, like I once did for years actually.
Then at the open mike when Sister Shaver said Molly was the most Christ like person she knew (and she knew a lot of people) I knew she had discovered Molly's lustre as well.
As I drove home I waved at her resting place and next time will stop by to pay respects. I am struggling to let her go. She still had work to do I am sure of it.
I had to remove her name from Visiting teaching and my Relief Society Mail out list. This made me sad.
My life has been enriched and blessed by knowing her. I miss her

She was one of those women who served so faithfully yet never had to be in the limelight. She was such an example to all of us. I will miss her, too.
