Dear Nina and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Esther was a lovely woman and a dear neighbor. I was always amazed by her vigor--putting the trash barrels out at the crack of dawn; and admired her care and concern for everyone in the neighborhood, especially the children. May the memories within your heart soothe your spirit at this difficult time. With deepest sympathy,
Herb

Dear Esther's Family,
Esther was one of the sweetest and dearest women I've ever met; while I'm saddened for the loss of her, I'm happy I was fortunate enough to have met her and worked with her at RTN. My deepest sympathy to all.

Esther was the brightest, most positive person at RTN credit union, where she worked for 40 plus years. I looked forward to seeing her at work, and missed her the most when I left in September. It pained me to hear she left as well shortly after. She took care of everyone around her, and me especially. She gave me and my kids handmedowns, and actually bought my kids various items when she was out shopping. They started to call her Grandma Esther. :) She was easily the sweetest woman I've ever met. I will miss her terribly.

Joanne and Nina,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I will miss Esther very much, I will miss "my dictionary" as I use to call her that at work. She was a pleasure to work with and she will be greatly missed.

I too often made the mistake of saying "Hi, Esther". She would always retort by saying "that's Auntie Esther". She always valued family and was a positive role model to the next generation for her strength, consistency, work ethic and positive thought. The world needs more Auntie Esthers.
