My deepest condolences to the Molina and Botello family. May she rest in peace. She was a wonderful lady.
May the Botello and Molina families have peace. I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Mary. May the beautiful memories you made and the dreams you shared with Mary bring a smile to your face and calm your hearts. The Bible promises a time when sickness and death will no longer exist. May the words of that promise bring you hope and give you peace. "And (He) God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and Death Will Be No More, neither will mourning, nor outcry, nor pain be anymore..." (Revelation 21:4) With deepest sympathy.
Ms Molina was an administrator at United South when I was the secretary there. She was a terrific boss but most impotant she was also the my friend. I will treasure the fond memories of our years at USHS. I will miss my e-mail buddy. I know she is in the hands of our Lord and together again with her husband Paco.
Mrs. Molina was an outstanding administrator and more importantly a fine person. She was an Educator in every sense of the word. Our sincerest condolences to her family. She will be dearly missed. Frank and Bonnie Carter Boerne, Texas
Mrs. Mary Molina was a beautiful lady, inside and out. She was a great educator. I was privileged to know her as a teacher, a vice-principal, and a friend. Her smile was always so contagious and warm. I recently reconnected with her on Facebook and when I would run into at Colonel Santos Elementary where she never missed an award ceremony for her beautiful granddaughters. She was a very proud grandma. She will be missed. May you RIP Mrs. Molina. May God bless and comfort your family now and always. May they all know that you left a beautiful footprint on many, many lives. Sincerely, Yvette (Peña) De La Rosa, USHS class of '92

Our sincere condolences are extended to her family. Your mother, sister, aunt, and cousin, remain in our hearts forever with the countless memories we have to share with each other.

On behalf of the Flores-Casso family, I wish to extend our sincere condolences to all of Mary's family. Mary was a caring teacher with a big heart and I will always remember her kindness to my children when they transitioned to the public school system at UISD. We had recently moved back to Laredo, after living and going to school in Mexico and Mary, a fellow Ursuline alumnus, went the extra mile helping us in the transition. It was teachers like Mary who contributed to my children's success in a very different educational environment for them. Our prayers for her and the Botello-Molina family.
Marissa and Francisco my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My memories of Mary of full of joy, giving, and kindness. Thank you for sharing your Mom with so many people. Love you, Angie Gonzalez- Corpus Christi, Texas

She was not only the dynamic loving principal of CSB to my daughter but she celebrated all of her accomplishments from Pocahontas to Matrimony. Mrs. Molina's place in paradise is reserved! We will always carry her in our hearts and we will pray for the strength and comfort of the family during this difficult time. Love, Pam and Anissa
