Answer: She had leukemia.

This was probably the saddest moment in Wandin Valley history. The final scene of this episode saw Molly lying on the lounge in the back yard while Brendan and Chloe were flying a kite. Her eyes closed and the scene ended with Brendan running towards her. Below is the poem that Bob Hatfield read at her funeral (taken from http://acountrypractice.com/Exam/molly.html):

"Mad", we said, "Mad Molly Jones"
But then we didn't know
The kindness that was hers to spare
The joy that she took everywhere
We simply didn't know.

"Mad", we said, "Mad Molly Jones"
But then we hadn't heard
How she could fight to save a flower,
And give each man and dog his hour
We simply hadn't heard.

"Mad", we said, "Mad Molly Jones"
But then we hadn't seen
That she could make a dull day bright,
That she was colour, warmth, and light
We simply hadn't seen.

Molly Jones, it's over
Yet we cnnot say goodbye
For all the loveliness we knew
And love of life and friendship true
And laughter brave once dwelt in you

And how can such things die?

8. How was Judy Loveday related to Jo Loveday?

Answer: They were cousins.

Jo was living with her grandmother, but ran away to Wandin Valley to live with Judy.

9. Which motorcycle cop did Judy fall in love with?

Answer: Steve Vargas

Steve came to the Valley to take over from Frank while he was on a cruise.

10. Why did Brendan call his wife Molly?

Answer: Because her real name was a mouthful.

Molly's real name was Melissa. She met Brendan when she was admitted to the Queen Victoria Hospital in Adelaide with a broken leg.
