I remember her being very active back then. Later she sadly fell sick and struggled to gather money for her chemo therapy, she was trying to sell her domain https://molly.com but couldn't really get a serious bidder I remember. But now it's taken over by someone so perhaps it did work. It's sad that she had to go so young.
