Ester was a wonderful woman, I will miss her dearly. She brightened my day with her embracing smile. I looked forward to seeing her everytime I visited Las Vegas. She would always make me a Lemon Cake in which she gave me the recipe for. I will hold on to it forever and everytime I bake it I will think of her.

Jonathon and Family,
I am very sorry to hear of your grandmothers passing. She was a wonderful lady with a lot of spunk. It was always evident how much she loved her family. Jon, I know how proud of you she is, you've grown into a terrific man, dad, and husband, but as you know she always saw your beauty.
