Let’s Celebrate Mollie  

Contributed by Randi Perlman

Dear Mollie –
You lead a movement
You educated a community
You raised a Leed Gold building

Dear Mollie –
You fostered our collective consciousness
You awakened our passion
You believed in us and our mission

Dear Mollie –
You honored your friends and family
You cherished our planet
You held tight to your vision

Dear Mollie –
You created so much good
You accomplished your dream
You left a sustainable legacy

Dear Mollie –
You touched us all in meaningful ways
You made the most of all your days
Your energy was contagious 

Dear Mollie –
You always cared & persevered
You inspire us all by what you shared
Your lessons will guide us forward 

Dear Mollie –
You remain large in our hearts
Your presence surrounds us always
You will forever be missed
And we will dance in your honor

This poem was written in celebration of the life of Mollie Boyer, long-time executive director of our local Recycling Center. She made our wonderful Valley an even more incredible place to ‘hang yer hat’, and taught some valuable lessons along the way.  She is missed, but never forgotten…
