  • "Molly was my Northern Star."
    Her sister, LCDR Jennette Greene, proudly followed in Commander Molly Water's footsteps serving in U.S. Coast Guard. She was there to say good-bye during Molly's final moments after a tragic accident. She was on the Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw as Our hero was laid to rest in Lake Huron. And she helped make it possible for Molly's legacy to live on, literally, as an organ donor for the family of a fellow Coastie. This is the story of many serving all, for the greater good.

    I am so very thankful for our women and men in the military. Beautiful tribute being an organ donater. She gave her life so someone else could live.

    I served with her on the Mackinaw, she would come out to the quarterdeck in the morning and say "how the hell ya doing?" Such a warm greating....and she could drive a ship with the best of them

    I served with Molly in Cleveland. She was a solid leader and well respected by her crew. They even called her “The Old Man”, that says a lot about her as a leader and a CO. RIP Commander Waters.

    God bless Molly , her family , shipmates and the Coast Guard ! , Who saved my life and the lives of two other crewmembers off the F/V "PETREL", which was lost 75 N. miles out to sea at night in a storm after the boat was destroyed after a flash back from a stack fire ! 6 N. miles S.E. of Santa Barbara Island on the 21st. Of May 1977 , this was my first job out of the Navy ,we hung onto a 5'X5' foot hatch cover without survival suit's until we where picked up by a USCG 52-A chopper, your service has saved countless lives including ours , thank you , and GOD BLESS !

    Being a recipient of an organ donor, these mean so much to me. On August 30th, 2024, my family and I made the decision to donate my baby cousin organs. We lost her, but she was able to donate to 3 people to give them life, and we wore proud to honor her.

    So sad there was such division between the sisters....what a burden for their mother to have to bear, keeping their lives separate the way she was forced to do. Hardness of heart has nothing to do with hardness of resolve, or respect. I’m glad for her sake that one sister had the guts to try to heal the breach before the other died. Sad.

    Nearly half a century ago our RE teacher was off ill and the art teacher filled in. The lesson was based on 'Love Thy Neighbour'. Mainly because of my relationship with my brother the words he said that day have always stayed with me: “You don't have to like someone to love them, love starts with respect." I'm sure Molly will always be at her sister's side and any falling out they may have had have long been forgotten.
