Hi Esther & Family,
I am so sorry to hear we will not see you again for a while. I am sorry I didn't make the funeral and family time together. I didn't know until it was too late. I am very pleased we got to know each other and share church together. Reading what folks have said, is wonderful. I learned we know some of the same people, outside of church also.
God Bless you all, take care and keep the faith.
My Love, Angela Hill

Dear Family,
I was sad to hear of Aunt Esther's passing on monday. She was one of my favorite Aunts, who I enjoyed visiting when I lived in Binghamton a long time ago. She will always have a special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you, especially, this day of her funeral. I think of her reunion with family members on the other side. This is a happy occasion for her. The Gospel is true and we know we will see our loved ones again. God bless you all. Love, Debra Carpenter Bauer

The pain will go away but the memories she gave all of us will never leave our hearts.
You will always be in our hearts and on our minds. Now that you are in heaven there are many angels for you to watch over, as you were the best baby sitter in the world, you gave our boys your love, kindness and honor of calling you Grandma Esther....

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
