Not sure what to say?

I always think of Esther with a smile...her spunk, her kindness, her independence. And I also fondly recall her two beloved dogs, Maggie and Molly. Rest in peace beyond the Rainbow Bridge, doggies, and Esther, we miss you.

I am so glad Esther had a long and well deserved retirement. She was one of the BEST Teachers for whom I ever substituted and a Great Mentor while I taught at the Lincoln Elementary & Junior High School. Those of us who knew her were truly Blessed.

Hello

We met Esther several years ago through my mother inlaw.There was a group that dined regularly together at the old"Oscar's" restaurant in North Syracuse. She was a wonderful, kind and caring person! Was a true pleasure to have met her.We will always remember her smile, she will be missed.

Chick, I am so sorry of your loss of a very special lady. God give you strength and peace. Debbie Guilfoyle

Mrs. Bitzer loving guided my sisters and me during in our first years at Lincoln School. I always admired her patience and loving ways. I trust she is at peace.

We recall many good times with Esther. She will be missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing her, especially all the students who were lucky enough to have her for their teacher. We send our condolences to her family.

Rest in Happiness knowing you had an influence on all of the eastwood kids that grew up in the 60's. I was one of those kids that never forgot your name. Everytime I add honey to tea or on a cracker I rememer how you introduced us to that lovely sweetness for snack time. Thank you for being the kind of teacher every child should have now and forever.

In the early 1950s, a young teacher helped a clumsy and shy 5-year old to create a Christmas decoration for her parents. It hung in their home during the holidays until their passing, decades later. Now it hangs in mine, as I remember with affection an extraordinary person, gentle and wise beyond her years. Thank you, Miss Bitzer. Rest easy. Jo Lynne Appleton
