They maybe could have picked a picture that didnt make her look like an asylum patient…

  We are all patients in the asylum. Some of us just don’t know it yet. °-°

  She loved what she did and was a wild fun person. What a great photo to remember her with.

Never heard of her but it sounds like she made good things happen.

I remember her being very active back then. Later she sadly fell sick and struggled to gather money for her chemo therapy, she was trying to sell her domain molly.com but couldn’t really get a serious bidder I remember. But now it’s taken over by someone so perhaps it did work. It’s sad that she had to go so young.
