There aren't enough ways to say thank you to everyone out there for all the support you have given us. In addition to all of our friends and family, there are strangers calling and coming to us offering to help with Molly's recovery. When we wonder how we will get through the next hour, a random act of kindness from people we have never met answers that question. Every night we look forward to reading all of the encouraging messages you leave us. God bless you all.
Molly is still fighting the good fight. If we could channel all of the good vibes coming her way, I believe we could acheive world peace.
To the class of 2006 everywhere, congratulations!!! You all have worked very hard to acheive this goal and we want you to celebrate your success. Please enjoy your day the way you have always planned to. This is our graduation card to all of you, we ran out of stamps.
To paraphrase Edward R. Murrow, "Good night and good news."

I just heard about the accident through the Ancient Angels email distribution list. It it such a terrible tragedy and my thoughts, concerns and prayers go out to your family. Be strong. The EHS community is a huge one and enough of us have had tragedies occur during our lives that we can understand your pain. So please feed off our concern for Molly and pass on the energy for us. I also hope you continue to keep us posted as so many of us are worried about our fellow Angel.
Best wishes.

I've been checking daily to hear updates on Molly. You are complete strangers, but I feel drawn to your heartbreaking story.
Reading Molly's Blog has really brought back some memories for us. Our hearts go out to you and your family. I recall times when my husband lost his leg that we thought we would NEVER stop going over the horrid events of his accident constantly in our heads. It seemed incomprehensible that life would ever be normal again. It was so emotionally and physically draining for our family. Life will continue and can be wonderful! Molly, don't let this break your spirit.
I don't know you but I've been reading about your Molly and her horrible accident. My niece had a similar accident several years ago when she was 16. It was a miracle she survived. It was a long recovery but she is now 23, doing wonderful and about to get married in August. I truely believe that angels wrapped their arms around her on the night of her accident. She was run over twice by her "friend" then left to die for hours before one of her "friends felt guilty and called for help. I believe angels protected your Molly from a worse fate as well. Now, though she will have a long recovery, God has blessed her with aa wonderful loving support system to help her in every step. One bit of advise I learned from experience. Please take care of yourselves. She will need you to be healthy and strong. Overdoing it will endanger your health as well. My family and I will keep you and your beautiful Molly in our prayers for a speedy recovery. God Bless from Mississippi
Our family's thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

We are east-denverites and a "VV" family who have been thinking and praying for Molly's recovery of mind, body and spirit. God bless you all.
I do not know you Molly, but I wanted to leave a post to send along my best wishes to you for a complete and speedy recovery. I do not know the extent of your injury, but I wanted to tell you how lucky you are to have the very best and most modern medical attention to help you recover from this awful accident. I would like to share a story with you about my Grandmother, Ruth. When Ruth was 16, (which would have been just about 1915) she and her boyfriend decided to run away and get married. They hitched a ride with a man in a Model A, which was a modern vehicle back then. Unfortunately, the car stalled as they were crossing the railroad tracks, and the car was hit by an oncoming train. My grandmother and the driver survived, but her right leg was horribly broken. She spent nine months in the hospital recovering. Back then, the doctors did the best they could to save her leg, but the leg did not grow to the appropriate size, as she was not herself fully grown. She walked wearing a special boot and using a cane, from the time she was 16 and for the rest of her life. However, while she was recuperating in the hospital, a very kind and handsome young man who heard that she had been hurt, came to visit. He did not know her, but he had heard about her accident and wanted to visit her. He introduced himself, and visited her often. Soon they became very good friends. To make a long story short, that very handsome and kind young man was my Grandfather, Fred. He and my grandmother Ruth were married not very long after she graduated from High School, and remained married until Fred's death just about 15 years ago. I want you to know that if you should find yourself with reminders of your accident, that there are real and wonderful people who will love you truly as you are. My grandparents were amazing, happy people despite Ruth's daily difficulties as a result of her accident. She had the most sunny attitude and was always doing things for people less fortunate than she. In any event, I hope your recovery is complete and that you will enjoy a long and happy life.
I read Molly's story through a link on CNN. I know Molly will recover and be even prettier than she was before. My thoughts are with you, and I hope wish you the best for the upcoming weekend...Molly has so much love around her, she is a very lucky woman.
Molly -
Sending prayers from Los Angeles. God can do amazing things and will protect you through all of this.

To the Family, Friends and Ms. Molly,
I play soccer with your sister and I heard about what happened to you from our coach. I know that your sis is a great person, and I read that she said you were her hero. I think that is amazing, just think if your older sis thinks you are a hero, imagine how many people think that of you! I'm sure thousands... I just wanted you all to know that as an outsider this story has effected me immensly and perhaps the whole nation. Here are some quotes I thought you all might like...
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail"
Nora Roberts
"If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, "Always do what you are afraid to do."
Dale Carnegie
"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all."
I hope that you all will enjoy these quotes, they are some of my favorite and seem to be useful.
I wish you well Ms. Molly!!!
I just wanted to say "God Bless You" to Molly and her family. I read about the accident on CNN.com and it just broke my heart. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
God Bless

Just remember -- it doesn't matter how many storms the ship goes through, all that matters is whether it gets to port or not.
You're going through a bad storm now, but you'll make it.
