I spent a few days with Molly last week. She was weak but had a big appetite and full of talk. Bruce showed that he was a very loving and concerned father doing all he could do to make Molly comfortable and happy. Molly seemed to gain strength as soon as she was able to get outside every day especially with her cousin Marlene. She laughed and joked as we walked and talked. She went to a party at Andrea and Stuart Rich's home because she wanted to be happy and visit with long time friends.. Molly was a beautiful young lady who I had visited with over the years. All of us will miss her. Let's support our friend, Bruce, who is a wonderful dedicated father especially this Father's Day weekend

I miss you Molly.

Molly was always a great person to be around.
She lit up a room every time she walked in. She was so funny and always laughing. She would make friends everywhere she would go.
She will be missed greatly.

Molly Levine is a darling girl, who faced her health challenges with tremendous courage and dignity. She was dearly loved by her Mom and Dad and those of us in the extended family who were fortunate to have our days brightened when Molly was in them.

Molly helped make my years at Bradley. She was the best Big Sis/Pledge Mom a Kappa Delta could ask for — the best of friends, and your biggest cheerleader. She truly embodied love and generosity; there wasn't a souls she ever met who didn't become a friend of hers. She will be so very missed but I hope to smile and cherish the many memories we made. AOT Mollz, until we meet again.

Molly was a wonderful person who worked to make the lives of everyone around her more joyful. She was incredibly active and involved at Bradley University Hillel, where I was the executive director. Molly dedicated herself to making other students feel welcome and she never failed to do the work that builds a community, one person and friendship at a time. I am so sorry for your loss! May you find comfort among the mourners of Zion.

My deepest condolences to Bruce and all of Molly's family. I have so many good memories with Molly. Cubs games (always with great seats thanks to Bruce), seeing Rent for the first time in Peoria, and of course sharing a Ben Folds concert together. That was Molly's birthday present to me in 2019. She spent way too much on tickets just to give me a special night, and it was a beautiful and happy night spent in each other's company.

Molly was such a social butterfly, anytime I was in Andersonville it seemed like I was introduced to every person we passed. She expanded my circle in Peoria as well, as she introduced me to friends that I still have to this day. Molly was a connecting force, she brought people together with her humor and love.

Molly's concern for others was extraordinary. I lost a close friend unexpectedly in July 2017. When I told Molly, she was ready on the spot to come to Peoria to be with me. No questions asked, just 100% ready and willing to drop everything to help a friend. We had known each other for three weeks at that point. Looking back, that was the first time I realized just how unique Molly was. She loved unapologetically. She lived with her heart wide open.

She remains an example of grace and dignity to me. I will never forget her bravery in the face of adversity or the way she could make me laugh. Her light lives on in our memories.

Sending my love and deepest sympathies. Molly was such a wonderful person and I am so fortunate to have meet her and had her in my life. We met at first at Wrigley, of course, working for Fanfoto and trying to stay cool in those ridiculously oversized lime green shirts. Molly was always a a breathe of life and love. As the years have gone by our friendship would just pick back up where it left off. There was always Happy Birthday texts or even a simple coffee dates. Molly you loved and are loved by SO many and will be truly missed!

I am very very sorry to hear of Molly's passing. Believe it or not, I knew Mollie way back from summer acting camp, as well as from theater programming through the Skokie Park District. She was so cute in those shows with us, and always had a vibrant smile. I think it's safe to say all us older kids wanted to adopt her as our sister for every show we got to be part of with her.
I sincerely hope she did not suffer and I know Heaven got a beautiful angel.
My sincerest condolences to her family and May her memory be for a blessing now and always.
