My dearest uncle, it is at sad times such as these that we truly appreciate our Father's power over death. Its also at these times that we feel him as our God of comfort. 

The bond you both shared was an incredible one and it's my hope as it is with my parents, to see her when she wakes up and learn what it was that made her so exceptional!!!

Jehovah's blessings and my love!

I remember the first time I met Mom, my future mother-in-law. She prepared a meal for Luis and me. As we ate at the table, I could feel her stare. I looked up at her with a smile and asked her what’s wrong. In a straightforward Margarita style response she said “ you are too young for my son”. I had to tell her my age and that I deeply loved Lou and would take care of him. Then she hugged me with a smile. I knew then I was accepted as her future daughter-in-law. It was an absolute pleasure being a part of your life. Your kindness to me will be treasured 
As I said to you on Sunday, “see you soon”. With all my love to the Molina family.
Revelation 21:3-5.

With love to Luis, Merlene & family

Dear brother & sister Luis Molina and family,  so deeply sorry for your loss of your mother.  Soon she wakes up in a paradise.  What a long history of faithfully serving Jehovah.  Jehovah will never forget the love and work she showed for his name.  Jehovah will soon wipe all our tears away.  In the meantime, we faithfully endure till the earthly resurrection. 

Love sister Leeann Dorsey
