I'll always remember my aunt as a extremely "special" person who loved her family and life. She gave hope and understanding to the word "love" in the many ways she loved her family, friends, and people she encountered.... no matter where. Her smiles were contagious, and she just loved life and people with a bottomless giving heart. She gave me so many gifts and healing of hurts, and I will miss her always but smile at wonderful memories.

I will never forget my summers at Highland Beach. Playing cards on your porch and enjoying your Sunday Pot Roast Dinner. But most of all, I will miss your smile, your laughter, and remember all the good times we had together. Rest in Peace Esther.
