Esther what I remember mostly, is your energy and drive and how you made me feel. You made everyone feel like they belonged. Over 7 years I never saw or heard any anger, just your smile and gentle way. I considered myself lucky the pleasure and enjoyment of knowing you and your FAMILY.

My Maw-Maw.

Countless memories of Monopoly, sleepovers, bowling, going out to dinner, and just sitting on the porch.

Maw-Maw's memory will live on every time someone commits a selfless act. She went happy, asking nothing in return, only the company of her closest loved ones.

We love you Maw-Maw, we miss you. We know you are with Pa-Pa watching over us.

Linda and Janet - you have lost your best friend. My mom and Esther were like sisters and went through so much together through the years. I'm so happy that Chuck and I got to see her a couple of weeks ago. We had such a wonderful visit and I wish we had done it sooner.
She was a beautiful lady and I feel comforted by knowing that Esther and Mega are sharing their friendship once again.
God bless all of you. Love, Camille
