Grandma Esther,
since I was a little girl I always adressed your cards Grandma Easter. ;) I want to thank you for all the love and sacrafices you made for your family and friends over the years. Some of the best memories of my life were with you at your house. I loved to watch your Novelas with you even though I could not understand a word. You brought laughter and sunshine into so many people's lives, including mine. Mike and I feel so blessed that you were at our wedding. I will miss you and your blessings. ... To all my family and the people who knew and loved my Grandma, you are in my prayers. cling to each other, your faith and the good times we had with Grandma Esther through this difficult time.
Love
Bethers
