THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT MEMORIES OF ESTHER AND HER FAMILY. WHETHER IT WAS A READING FROM THE FAMILY ALTAR ON A SLEEP-OVER, OR A TRIP TO THE SOUTH AND NEW YORK, OR THE GOOD TIMES AT THE COTTAGE, VISITING WITH GRANDPA AND GRANDMA MARQUARDT IN HORICON, AND DECORATING THE CHURCH INTERIOR AT CHRISTMAS. THEN THERE WAS ESTHER'S MISSION WORK. SHE WOULD SEE TO IT THAT THOSE WHO HAD LITERALLY NOTHING WERE LOOKED AFTER. AND IN THESE LAST YEARS I LOOKED TO HER AS MY "OTHER MOTHER." NOW SHE HAS GONE TO HER REST IN JESUS'S ARMS. SHE WAS ONE GREAT LADY AND SHE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BY ALL.
GOD BLESS HER, HER FAMILY AND ALL THOSE WHOSE LIVES SHE TOUCHED.

My family moved to 26th and Vliet in 1948. The Jungs were one of the first families we met in the new neighborhood. I remember playing monopoly for days when the days were soooo hot in summer. Esther and Erv permitted us to us the AC in the parlor if there ws no other "guest." I loved their birds -my mother said she was "allergic" to birds - also dogs, so we SMRZ kids never had any but esther let us think that we had adopted their feathered friends. I though Esther was prettier than women on TV in the 50's. We went to a dinner at Bethelem Lutheran even though we were Catholic. The food was super. Maybe Louis would remember the "forts" we made out of the Siehr's ashbox across the alley from the Home. Their cottage in Horicon is where my younger sister learned to swim by jumping off the pier. At trip to the Dells with the Jungs in a fond memory for me - our family didn't get out of MKE too often, but with Esther's urging we travelled to the bluffs along the WI River and saw a real, live Indian ceremonial. The Jung memories will always be close to my heart. She is special and will always be. Love to her family - Sue Smrz Roemer

My father worked for her parents on their farm in Horicon. In recent years I was able to visit with her and her sister and really enjoyed hearing about my father when he was a young man. I loved her dearly--she was just a great lady. Her faith in Jesus as her savior brightly lit up her conversations. She is with him now and enjoying a pain free existance. Her family was blessed to have her so long. She will be missed but my hope is that I will meet her again in our heavenly home.

I always remember her as "Auntie Esther" as she was related in some way to the Zuehlsdorf family. But my best remberance of her is when I was a Cub Scout and she was my Den Mother. Recently she gave me a picture (which I cherish) of 5 of us Cub Scouts dressed in Indian garb. She made the best chocolate chip cookies and let us run around the funeral home on Vliet Street. We also got to watch the Schuster's Christmas Parade from the funeral home balcony. When it comes to sweet, loving people, she stands out as the best.
