Ms McGee was a wonderful woman who blessed us here at magnolia for many years. She always had a wonderful smile and a kind word for all of us. As the years went by she was our Molly and we all loved seeing her smile when we called her that. My heart is broken but I’m so glad for the time the Lord let us have her here. She will be truly missed. 😢
I am forever grateful to Mom McGee. I am so blessed that she raised my life-long best friend. She treated me like her own daughter and I was fortunate to have her as a friend. She will be missed by many. When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be! Reunion with Mom McGee will be one more blessing!
She is going to be deeply missed. It was such an honor to take care of her the last 6 years. Magnolia is going to miss you, Molly ❤️
