Esther was a dear friend and my heart aches for her family. When I lost my husband, Barney, in August this year, Esther got friends to bring her to see me, which meant so much to me. Please accept my condolences on the loss of this most gracious and kind loved one. I regret not being able to attend her service due to recovering from a broken hip in December. May God bless you all with remembrance of all the wonderful time spent with Esther. Olgia Faye Cross, Willis, TX
