Molinda was my second mama and my godmother. Her and my mama have been friends for 45+ years. She meant the world to me. She tried to make every event that happened in my life. We talked all the time when we can. She always taught me to be strong and always work hard and not give up. She was a tough cookie to crack, but she always LOVED her family. She always made time for me when I wanted to see her and visit. She was an amazing woman. Will miss our email conversations about life and everything else we wanted to update one another on. Now your looking down on all of us and watching over us. I love you Sport and will miss you so much. Love, Julia Rose
you will be missed, so sorry that I did not get to see again. May you rest in peace
you will be missed so much, wish I could have seen you one last time. Rest in peace sweet cousin
I’ve known Molinda and her husband Harold for 38 years and they were Somme of the most wonderful and kind people I’ve ever known , she will be forever missed and always remembered.
Linda was my best friend in the 3rd thru 5th grade, then we moved with my Daddy's job. He and and my Mother brought me to see her once because I missed her so much. Once on a trip to Las Vegas with my sisters, I think she was the stewardess on our flight. She was standing there as we exited and we made eye contact and smiled at each other. I've always wished I had asked, "are you, Linda", but she was busy. May God comfort you, her family🩷🙏🩷
Love you Polly,
Molinda left a huge void in our family. She was always there for each of us.....no matter what the need. You, Molinda, will never be forgotten nor loved by all of us. With much love and devotion to all my cousins and prayers and comfort to fill the hearts of all who had the privilege to know this marvelous woman!!! Fran Morrow Hackney 💔🙏❤️
Molinda only met me a couple times as a kid at her sister Polly's house, but always kept my family in her thoughts. She even sent our girls clothes out of the blue that they absolutely loved. Our absolute most sincere condolences to Harold, all the Lovelaces and extended family. God Bless.
Sympathy extended to all the dear Lovelace family.
