Flashback to Mollie Boyer
Contributed by Randi Perlman
Mollie’s in my heart today
Where she remains in a palpable way
As life proceeds along its route
I often reflect on what she was about
Her thorough grasp of the recycling world
And how it’s played out as history’s unfurled
Still keeps me in awe of her knowledge & passion
Uniting a community, turning trash into fashion
She left us too soon, with more to get done
Her battle continues, war still to be won
A calendar date FIVE years ago now
Still leaves me with questions and wondering how
An indomitable spirit so committed and driven
Could be taken away despite all she had given
But I don’t have those answers, all that I know
Is I’m blessed to have known her, and basked in her glow
We honor her memory and all her good deeds
And at peace up above us, we hope she is pleased…
