My dear childhood friend and next door neighbor. The world will be missing a wonderful person. Any one who knew her was a better person. She was a Treasure.

I close my eyes and she is there in the bow of the Old Town, fly rod in hand, joy in her soul, she is casting for brown trout at twilight. We are on the river, an owl calls, something hits her Hank's Creation, Hester hoots in delight.
It is a good night to be on the river. Thank you for such sweet times and such good memories.

My deepest sympathies to Hester's family. It has been decades since I last saw her, but I will always remember her warmth and sparkle. I was just a kid at the time, but Hester was one of my most dazzling and impressive cousins. And yes, we all voted for Obama - with great delight!!

What sadness to know that our Uncommon Chiseler friend Hester has gone. We had a lot of laughs and friendship in our sculpture group in Greenwich, CT, and remember Hester as a true artist and fine friend. Wishing you all peace in your hearts. She will be missed. Sharon Collinson

My sympathies to the family of Hester. I knew her since she was two. She and her brother Matson and the rest of the family were our next door neighbors. They were "family" to us. Hester will always have a special place on my heart, and i'm sure, everyone she touched. This world lost a cherished soul, but her future is bright. She will be missed. She left a living legacy of goodness for others to imitate.

I did not know Hester. She sounds like a wonderful soul. My deepest sympathies are with the family. One of her last wishes will certainly be carried out by myself and many others. The joy and energy of her life will be carried through the nation by the inauguration of Barrack Obama. Thank you for your time and goodness while on this Earth Hester

I am profoundly touched by the memorial to Hester's life. How lucky to have been touched by such a lovely soul. My hugs are sent to Hester's family. And, I appreciate, as I'm sure Barack Obama is as well, for her remembering him and his cause!

I did not know Hester, but I am touched that she would have the fore-sight and concern to encourage a well-thought vote as one of her final wishes. She must have be something special.

A "bloomin' onion" is how I will remember you best. Thank you for sharing that with me. The week we spent together with Scott was an amazing time and a lot of fun. I'm very happy to have had the chance to meet you. My condolences to Tim, Scott, and Amy.

I am sorry for your loss. Hester sound as though she was so very caring right to the end. We were very taken by her thoughtfullness to encourage people to vote for Barack Obama. I hope she knows that we did this past week.
