To the staff at the hospital, you people are amazing! We feel so lucky to have all of you taking care of Molly. Thank you for your great care and compassion. Your professionalism is beyond belief. Words aren't sufficient to express our gratitude. We have not encountered one employee who hasn't been top notch, from the maintenance staff, cafeteria workers, all the way to the nurses and doctors in charge. Our hats go off to all of you.
To all the bloggers, keep it up. We will be reading these to Molly during her recovery. Clarence, you make us laugh. Learn how to spell your name. Come back to see us. Kayle, I love you and will call as soon as I can. All of this support is phenominal and keeping us level.
Today was a good day. Molly remains in critical, but stable condition. We had no setbacks, so that is a good day. Her injuries continue to heal, and we are optimistic.
We have had two quiet days now and that has been very helpful for Molly and us, but we miss all of you. If you come up, please maintain the same level of courtesy and respect for the other families who are in our same situation, which you have demonstrated throughout this ordeal. We would like to ask that you end visiting hours by 6:00 so that we may have our time with Molly before the shift change. We love you guys! Thanks for everything.

Our hearts and love are with you and also Franny.

May your recovery be swift and complete, the pool awaits you.

Molly Molly, Bo-Bolly!
I came and I visited you on Monday, and I can't stop thinking about you my dear! You are so wonderful, and we saw your and Hannah's movie in film, and it was hilarious. Good job. I was just recalling all the good times we've had over the years. I don't know if you recall, but that time you were at my house and you ate some bad yougert, and you starting wiping it off of your tongue, and I was laughing so hard. Then later you gave Even a bloody nose because he called you fat. You are the best, and the strongest, and I'll be visiting you this summer.

To Molly's parents and Family: I am praying for you as well, and you are in my thoughts as well. I love Molly a lot, we all do.

Molly, yesterday Mr. Madison showed our film class the movie that you and Hannah made. It was hilarious, especially the coreography of the judges, very well done. Not a day goes by that I don't miss that warm friendly smile of yours. Greg and I await your recovery and hope that you will be well soon. I love you soooo much Molly. I will always, always be there for you and your family.

Molly - I'm praying for you and your family. I know I still have your reading log folder here somewhere and would like to get it back to you. I'll find it when I open boxes in the fall and then I'll arrange to come and see you. You've always been held up to all my classes as one of my best writers. Maybe journaling now could turn into an opportunity for you later. I love you and pray for the best of all outcomes for you. Mrs. King

Every time I see your picture I smile and laugh about all the good times we've had together from Hawaii to all those practices with Jimmy.

I'm not sure you can count Pirate's Cove as a good time, but I guess with you everything was at least a little fun. On that note, the Pirate's Cove suckers, I mean staff sends their love too.

I love you so much, its ridiculous.

Oh my wonderful, beautiful, funny, smart, incredible Molly i hope you know how much i love you! Not a second goes by when I don’t think of how strong that love is or some sort of crazy memory that i have had with you. In my life you have always inspired strength and happiness-- I’m not sure how i could have gotten over so many petty incidences (that seemed like the world at the time) without you. I might not be the best at speaking up for myself but i have gotten considerably better and i credit that to you. You have made me a stronger person and now all i hope is that I may be strong for you and give back all that you have done for me. I'm not sure if I can stand leaving you in the fall and I’m not going to if that’s what you need. Katie was telling me the other day about a speech she had made about you a few weeks ago. I’m not sure, you probably already know this, but it was about how you were her hero, When she told me I couldn’t help but smile because I have felt the same way for years. And I know no matter what you will be the one doing something incredible while the rest of us sitting with our jaws dropped in amazement-- but I always knew that. And also your curls will always be far superior to mine no matter how much I try.
Love Always,
Friend

I'm Amy (Rebecca Cohen's BIG sister). I remember when I first met you at Becca's house, I was in total awe of you---because you were one of a kind. You wore striped, rainbow colored tights with a skirt---and a bright, shiny smile. Really, an unforgettable smile! You not impressed me once, but twice. I came to watch Becca swim--but instead, I ended up watching you. Wow, such a slick swimmer! I hope all the best and more for you!

I have never met you nor your family and read of your terrible accident on the internet. Having a child of my own I can only imagine what your family must be enduring at this time. Please just know that while you may think you are alone and see only one set of footprints is when he carries you through. The Lord is with you and with faith and prayer anything is possible. I wish you a full and speedy recovery. Please also know that while we may not understand why this tragic accident had to happen God has a reason for everything that happens. Please do not turn your faith away from him. May God Bless you and heal you from your injuries. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless you.

You are in one of the best areas in the world for medical care and therapy, and I hope the media will do those of us who do not know you a service by keeping us updated on how you are doing. You have a wonderful family, wanting to protect your privacy, though. We care, that's all. Best wishes.

Hello to Molly and her family,

I, like so many others, do not know you, but read of this tragic news on the internet. I cannot stay away from this page and long to know that you are going to be OK. At 18, I broke my neck in a car accident, today I am strong and healthy with a husband and 2 young boys. Things happen to certain people for reasons we may never understand. Just know that you have so many people who are listening to you and your family and holding you dear to our hearts. You sound like an amazing young woman with so much future ahead. Keep your head up and focus on getting better. The doctors in this world are amazing. Surround yourself with family and friends and take all the help they can give. We love you and we don't even know you. I promise to keep checking on your progress because i know that is what it will be. Rest well and let your family hold you. Thanks to them for making it possible for us all to hear your story.

Yes, they don't have anything like internet at Manny and Tyba's house. But, they are moving to an aparment in Squirrel Hill. Maybe then, they will get cable and internet. But, I doubt it.

As soon as I heard about your accident my family and I started praying for you and your family immediatly. I remember the time that you went up to Copper Mountain with my mom and me (I think it was in 7th grade, maybe 8th) and we jumped on that huge trampoline together. I also remember going to one of your birthday parties where we all went to the pool and swam.
I havn't seen you in a long time but I remember what an amazing, strong, and brave (not to mention extremely funny) girl you are! I know that you can and will get through this!!

To Molly's Family,
If there is anything that my family or I can do for you please dont hesitate to ask!

Sincerely and with love,
