Dear Molly was one of my favorite people when I served as the Garrison Chaplain at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, January 2006-July 2010. She was so sweet and loveable. I remember how, as we served together with others on the serving line each month at “So Others May Eat” in Washington D.C. She always put the bread on the breakfast plates as they were passed from one volunteer to another. We each had one food item we’d place on the plate and she would always (with gloves on) put her finger down on the center of the bread. It was if she was leaving her mark. Funny, she really did leave her mark on the world in so many ways. Lisa and I will miss her dearly.

I would love that !
I will see you in January with my dad hopefully. He is very, very heavy-hearted over the loss of your mother. She, as you may know, was a big part of his life.
Could you provide me with Rusty’s address? I have something I would like to send to him.
Best, Susan

Molly, dear Molly, she was a cousin from my grandmother Marjeta Menard ( born as Jerich). Molly was in Slovenia for a visit just once, and I started to love her from that moment on. I’m not afraid for her soul, c’s I know that she is dancing and singing in heaven, with angels choir, and with my dearest grandmother Marjeta (God bless her soul) are now celebrating the new life. Sooner or later we will all meet together. Till than – we, here in Slovenia, are with you Molly. Dear relatives in USA, we are thinking of you. Mary Lyn, I will sing a song for her “V nebesih sem doma” , which menas, “My home is in heaven.”

Molly was my sister-in law and as near to perfection as a person could be. She was the closest thing to a grandparent to our two children and they adored her. We had a wonderful last visit with here in Ca. a few years back. We always regretted that we lived far apart from one another,but frequent phone calls and notes kept us close until a few days before she passed . I am sure she is wrapped lovingly in God’s arms and I take great comfort knowing that.

We will miss dear Molly very much. She was a wonderful lady who gave back many fold over what she received. Always upbeat and cheerful, I served with her both in the Fort Myer Chapel Catholic Choir and So Others May Eat (SOME). We kidded often and we laughed a lot. Molly – you were loved by each and every person that you touched in your lifetime — and there were many. You will be most welcomed and deserving to now be in God’s Kingdom.

Miss you Mom.
Amelia “Molly” Thomas was my father’s sister and my favorite Aunt. I was so sorry to learn of her passing but, I know she is in a much better place and, I am sure St. Peter was eager to greet her and welcome her home. As the above obituary makes clear — she was a selfless human being.
Aunt Molly lived in Arlington, Virginia. We — my mom, dad and brother, Skip, lived in Mt. Vernon, Virginia. So, growing up, we saw quite a bit of Molly and her family. She was a kind woman who, from the time I was a child through my birthday last year–45–never forgot to send me a birthday card. I always thought that was marvelous and remarkable. I also wished I were more like that myself. But, that was Molly-considerate and thoughtful.
Aunty Molly also knew that I loved her potica. Potica is a slovenian bread usually made around the holidays. It is, according to Aunt Molly, a process to make. It involves a lot of work–rolling the dough out and so forth. I always looked forward to that around the holidays. Aunt Molly knew her chubby little niece loved that. So, she always delivered one for me-and, it was mine. On occasion, I did share with my dad–he loved it too.
I also recall one special birthday when I finally got my 2-speed bicycle. A yellow Schwinn-a “big girl” bike. My parents were sitting on the sun porch of our house in Virginia and told me to come into the room that there was a surprise. Seriously, the bike was right in the middle of the room but, my eyes went to a box on the floor nearby-it was from Aunt Molly-potica! As I said, what a love of a woman. She made that especially for me on my birthday-I could not have asked for anything greater.
She was my sponsor when I received holy communion. Now, in all candor, I am not a religious person nor would I ever say that I am a devout Catholic. But, I certainly respect a person like my Aunt who, in spite of much adversity in her life, never lost her faith. That cannot be said about many people today or ever.
Aunt Molly visited us when we moved to Minnesota. She was our favorite Aunt and, my dad’s favorite sister. They were very close. He would often tell me that if it had not been for Molly, he may never have achieved the success in his life that he did. They grew up very poor in Ely, Minnesota. Their parents were Slovenian immigrants who, never really learned to speak English.
Molly and my dad, Frank, whose nickname is “Enky” were, from my perspective, the two smart kids in the family of six kids. As stated, Molly received a full scholarhip to college but, because of the times, did not go. However, when my father needed money for school-Aunt Molly loaned it to him. Dad went on to get two master’s degrees and do well for himself but, he always told us that none of that would have been possible without his sister’s help. And, in addition to that, Aunt Molly gave her little brother (he is 7 years younger) good advice over the years. She was just the best.
Aunt Molly was great to my mom as well and, my mom adored her. My brother saw Aunt Molly quite a bit when he was going to school in D.C.. He loved visiting. She always made him feel right at home and cooked great meals for him. It was kind of funny too-her cooking. Russ, her husband, had to be on a lowfat diet so, Aunt Molly dedicated herself to this pursuit. No salt, no fat and no fun! Russ loved candy and would hide it around th house. He would eat it, he thought, surreptitiously. However, Aunt Molly often discovered his stash and got rid of it. Then, Russ would walk himself to the corner store for more. Of course, Aunt Molly did this because she cared.
I know she is in a good place but, it will be odd not to receive the cards in the mail on birthdays and holidays or, to talk to her. I feel fortunate that I was able to visit with her two years ago on Mother’s Day when I was in D.C.. My favorite Aunt and I went out for dinner and had a nice time. We also had an opportunity to visit her son and my cousin, Rusty. She was so devoted to Rusty. I pray he will be okay without his best friend. But, I know she will watch over all of her children from a better place.
Aunt Molly-we will all miss you. And, I am so sorry we did not see more of one another and, that I was not as good about keeping in touch as you were. I will try to do a better job with that going forward. Thank you for being such a good person and wonderful force in my family’s life. God bless you and your children, in particular, Rusty. I will always do my best to help him or any of your children, if they need me. Please look out for me up there. Lord knows I can still use a hand.
God speed and love.
Susan
