I only met Molly a few times in the home of her brother Tom McCoppin but I remember her as a sweet, friendly person who made me feel comfortable. I am so sorry for the family's loss of this very special person but I know she is comfortable in heaven now. Mindy Ward

Molly was a very beautiful, sweet, kind and loving Lady. She had a smile that made you feel important to be in her company. She will be missed by everyone that knew her.

Aunt Molly, you will be deeply missed! Our hearts are aching. My memories of you will always be of hand made dolls and our shared love/obsession of purple. I will always remember the huge 4th of July celebrations at your house, Christmas at your house and really most events at your house. You were quite the hostess! I loved your house so much, I was willing to release my pet ducks in your huge pond so they could enjoy your property as much as I had because they had outgrown our yard. Unfortuantly, I will also remember your resident alligator eating them as a treat too. Actually, that guy has a whole list of memories for me! Well, to say the least, there was always excitement at your house as well as warmth, love, and tons of fresh fruit waiting for us. You have been such a wonderful and sweet aunt to me. I love you and will miss you. We are only comforted knowing you are in the loving arms of Jesus and being reunited with Uncle John whom we all still miss! Give him a pinch from me! Love, Leslie Lang

I had some very sweet memories with Molly. She may have been my mother in law for just a few years, but her sweet soul will always be remembered by me. Heaven gained a sweetheart. My prayers go out to the whole Burleigh and McCoppin family. I love you all and will be praying for peace and comfort at this difficult time. May our Lord wrap His loving arms around each of you and give you peace in knowing she is with Him. Until we meet again Ms. Molly, I love you! Kim Borne Jackson
