Esther and Nick were our (across the street) wonderful neighbors on Morningside Drive in Trenton for many years. We watched their home being built and when they moved in, our friendship began to build. We were welcomed into their family and spent time together. Esther was always a beautiful, funloving person. Even after she moved to Florida, we kept in touch with each other. Nick and Sherry, your mother was a one-in-a-million very kind person and we will miss her as we are sure you will also. Please accept our condolences on your loss. Blanche, Al and Sharon.
