Thank you for posting this. Esther and Bob were the first people that we met when we moved to Kalamazoo from Dallas, Texas. They were just about the friendliest people we had ever met and made our move to Michigan as smooth as possible. Sorry for your loss.

To my other mom, I've known you since I was 12 yrs old and jr high sweethearts with Richard. Little did we know then that it would last a lifetime. There are memories that span over 50 years and that's a lot of memories! I remember the cottage at the lake & Grandpa Kiel up almosy before the sun and him tickling my feet i have so many memories of family gatherings, our monthly outings to the Civic and Symphony and going out to eat afterwards (how many nacho supremes did the four of us have),...

Esther and I were good friends in high school, but I hadn't seen her in years. She was always "happy go lucky" and a friend to all. I know she'll be missed by all who knew her.

Keith and Cindy so sorry for your loss.

Esther was a lovely lady with a joyful sense of humor. She was a wonderful friend to my mother and all the Greenwood family. My deepest sympathies to your whole family.
