Bobby & Noelle Try to Save Little Molly  

Molly died on September 18, 2001, in Bob's arms as we rushed her to the vet. She had been fine one minute...then we couldn't find her and she was under a bed...limp. We ran for the car and were frustrated at the rush hour traffic that seemed to be moving slower than usual. Bob held her close and kept telling her not to leave him. The vet thinks it was heart failure or a stroke. She was 11.

     Molly was a miniature, long-hair, red dachshund. She always had a smile for everyone, kids loved her, but her daddy (Bobby) was her whole world. She would literally scream when he walked in the house and she would put his fingers in her mouth. I tried to help him with his grief...but he was despondent. As I searched online for an urn, I ran across a website that took online tributes for grieving pet-owners to make towards their beloved pets who were gone. I wrote a tribute and sent a copy of it to Bob. He carried it around in his pocket. We checked that website all week looking for the tribute until it was posted online. I decided to use my skills as a web developer and make a website dedicated to Bobby and Molly.

Note - January 2007 - Molly is still a very tender subject. Her daddy appreciates this website, but still has a hard time visiting it even five years later. I took a break for a year from posting free tributes, as it is a very time-consuming project, but am offering them again for 2007. The website/hosting is still 100% funded by this family and an occasional donation. If you want to help, please consider ordering one of my 8 x 10 photo memorials. They look awesome and everyone who has seen one says, "You oughta do that for a living."... You can see them here. Molly is on one of them.
