Molly. There are no words to express the impact that you had on my life. Thank for the love you gave to all who came into your life. Always taking in people in need. Grandchildren were your pride and joy. My children were never without. You always had a way of slipping a little money or a little gift under the table. When Rudy came to visit he would bring gift mostly a rosary and say “keep this for me” cause he ways traveling and could not take them with him. You and DP taught me that children were first at meal times course grown ups could wait. Always welcomed me into your home - telling the kids tell your mom to come over. These last couple of weeks being able visit you were a blessing. The proudest thing is how Rosalinda was there for you and telling me. “Mom I have learned so mush during this with grandma about life and the end of life. And how she was there for Rudy who couldn’t be there. My kids and grandkids adored you and would anything for you.” You spoiled them rotten and thats ok cause that’s who you were and I thank you. I love you and now go and celebrate with our love ones in paradise and pray for us here.

Nanny Dearest, you have always made a huge impact on my life. I am grateful I had the chance to grow up with you and constantly was able to learn something new every time you and I spoke. You are the reason for my addiction to coffee for the past sixteen years and I will continue to enjoy every cup thinking of you and our memories together. I can’t help but miss you every day and remember the stories you would tell. Although you’re no longer with us physically, you will always be on my mind. Please watch over all of us along with Papo and keep us out of trouble like you always did. Much love my beautiful Nanny.

I love you all my family and friends and we will all beat this sadness because that’s not who nanny was, she never wanted us to be down she’d tell me get right bk up and celebrate her life because she was always ready to go because she knew she’s done her part and she did it all for us.

Rangel Family:What a rock your mom was to you, family and friends. I am going to miss her stories, our runs for "Baby Ruth" bars, and just hearing her voice. She was an amazing Latina who truly understood the meaning of family. She was a women with enormous wisdom. Her home was a safe haven. She never turned her doors away to anyone. Her family could always depend on her. She understood the meaning of giving, loving, and caring. Although she is gone she gives the family the baton to carry on in her footsteps. You are already so missed beautiful lady. I have learned from you, and will carry on the culture, love, and wisdom you shared with me. REST IN THAT PLACE OF PEACE.

Rudy, Chap, Jerry, Sylvia, & Ricky, Our sincerest condolences on the loss of your family’s matriarch. Molly was truly an incredible woman— an incredible fighter, and an incredible ally to those who knew her. I remember her as a stern boss when, as a young junior high student I tried my hand at waiting tables. She and your dad taught me a lot during those years and I came to respect the strength I saw in your mom. She truly was ahead of her time as a strong Hispana, successful entrepreneur, and as a respected role model to so many of us influenced by her strong work ethic. She certainly leaves a firm mark on many of our lives.
