To all of Esther's family and loved ones, you have my deepest condolences. I worked for Esther for many years and knew her family well. Her mother, father, her brothers and sister Josie and husband Dave. She taught me so much about the hairdressing business that brought me to Los Angel as and I have just retired. My prayers are with all of you. Adios Querida Amiga.
