WATCH: Concord Comes Together to Celebrate Molly B
The life of Rundlett Middle School teenager who passed away this month was applauded by family and friends at the Capitol Center.
The life of Molly Banzhoff, 13, who passed on May 7, 2016, was applauded and celebrated by hundreds of members of the Concord community on May 23, 2016, with a sendoff that was something that could have been cooked up in an off-Broadway rehearsal space in New York City.
There was laughter and song; tears and cheers; performances and memories of a life taken far too soon. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house.
With video montages and spoken words, students from the RMS Cluster 7-2 offered thoughts while 14 women, most of whom knew Molly from Flipz, shared their fondest memories about her life.

Meaghan and Joseph Nyhan performed “Amazing Grace” on violins while Lindsay White performed and Concord Dance Academy dancers tapped to Piano Concerto – leaving a space for Molly during the performance, on the stage, where she should have been, in photos above the stage, and also in their hearts, where she will always remain, no matter what number they are performing.

The Academy assisted in raising money for the family – more than $7,400 from #HeartMollyB T-shirts. Nearly $30,000 was raised from a YouCaring.com site.
Here are some photos from the event as well as a clip of the dancers.
Rest in peace, Molly.
