Dear Jim, Kim and Pam; Laurie and I were deeply sorry to learn of Molly’s passing. She will be missed by many. I, having grown up in Buchmiller Park, will always fondly remember the adventures the Brunkes and Calders had as children. Most of all, I’ll always remember Molly as a quiet, considerate person. She is at peace having joined the Lord’s Heavenly family. Walter and Laurie Brunke
