Sending my sincerest condolences,Carly & Family. Treasure all your wonderful memories.
So sorry for your loss Julie. I have fond memories of your Mom, in Ocean Falls. My Nana and I often visited her at work, at the Bay. Sending you love and peace.
Molly was an amazing woman and I’m proud to say I knew her. I worked with Molly at Sears in Thompson Park in the early 70’s. Molly was easy to talk with and a hard worker but all of us who worked there used to find times for laughs in that busy little restaurant. I am saddened to hear of Molly’s passing but confident she is shining above with Andy and Errol.
I had a memory of Molly out of the blue the first week of January and told a friend at work a story about a time when Molly and I were cleaning up in the restaurant at Sears after closing. We were in a hurry because it was Saturday supper time and we both had hungry kids waiting at home for us. It had been a very busy Saturday afternoon at Thompson Park Mall. It was THE place to go in Kamloops in those days especially on a Saturday. Molly made a quite risque remark regarding being in a hurry as she was polishing something in the front of the restaurant by the cash register and I was cleaning the sandwich board on the other side of the window where the food orders were placed. The remark took me completely by surprise and I burst out laughing. I have never forgotten after all these 40 years what a good good laugh I had that day and the way Molly winked at me when she made the remark in her lovely brogue. My thoughts are especially with Carly and Julie. I also have good memories of you both during the years when you were just girls spending time with our family at our house on Sudbury.
I will always remember Molly’s smile and her sense of fun and I wanted to share this good memory of her. Molly’s memory will live on with much fondness in our family. Sincerest condolences from Gail, Robin and Roxanne.
My condolences to Carly & Family. I am sad to hear of your mother’s passing. I have known your mom for many years, what a wonderful, cheerful person she was, and she will be missed. Mothers are so special and your memories will go on forever. She was such a special lady.
Hi Marilyn
Thanks for your condolences. Not sure why I never run into you. I have seen Jay, Mona and Ellie but never you. Hope you and your family are doing well.
Thanks Gail for the nice memory. Can’t believe it was that many years ago you and my mom worked together; those were the good old days. I still talk about how much fun we had at the Roesen’s house and all the things we did there. I would love to go back in time for just a bit. I’m so glad Rox and I have re-connected as we lost touch for a few years. Hope all is well with you.
Thanks Heather. I know you have been through the loss of your mom and it does take time. Yes I have wonderful memories which will last a life time.
I am sad to read that your mom passed away Carly. I am thankful I got to know her and work with her at the Bay. She was always so fiesty, never took crap from anyone and now and then she would have a joke or sly remark to make. I know you will miss her but you have many happy memories of her to think upon. ❤️ She is so memorable
