Molly Ivins Memorial Service Sunday, Feb. 4th.



Molly's friend Linda Lewis : "The next time I tell you someone from Texas should not be president of the United States, please, pay attention." The audience responded with great laughter, hooting, hollering, thunderous applause, and a standing ovation. There were many wonderful stories told by family and friends. It was a wonderful, joyful service, celebrating the life of a marvelous woman.

Music included several beautiful gospel songs, including one of my favorites, Amazing Grace, performed by a local Gospel group. Eliza Gilkyson sang, and Austin blues musician Marcia Ball performed several songs, including the final song, "Great Balls of Fire."

Following the service many attended the reception at Scholz's Garden, to hoist a brew in Molly's memory.
