Dear Molly, I have kept of you an excellent souvenir for 59 years. I came from Belgium. I stayed at home Udimore Road. We had the same age and we have had the same activity : Choir, you in Guestling and me in Wellin Last week, I came again in your region and I have thought to you. Sorrow. Claire Lamotte from Belgium

Thank you for being such an inspiration to so many. You were a brilliant teacher but you also gave so much of your own time, energy and creativity to bring music into our lives. I’ll always have special memories of all the performances we did at Charters Ancaster, the festival and numerous other places. I can still hear you singing Climb every mountain on the school stage so beautifully and can see you standing in front of us encouraging. I can picture you conducting us in the school choir and Cantares, sitting at the piano during a lesson or directing a production. Guiding, encouraging and supporting. I feel very lucky to have had you as a teacher and friend. With lots of love to your family x

Dear Molly, I still have strong memories, standing singing with you in your garden room. Thank you so much for everything - opening me up to a whole new world and, most importantly, had it not been for your persuasion to join Battle Light Opera all those years ago, I would never have met my Abi. May you rest in peace, and know that you will never be forgotten xxx
