My daughter Karina Carney Henderson is Molly's great granddaughter by marriage. Molly was an inspiration to Karina and our family. I was pleased to have known her and shared part of our life with her.

My mom told me her story. And often I feel very blessed to have been raised by a Maine Mother in the 1950's because they paid attention and used real women, with real stories as a way to teach us as young adolescent female, how to be both a life partner and our own person- a ripple that touches others long after we have sunk to the bottom of the pond.
