Not sure what to say?

It is hard to summarize how much Aunt Esther has meant in my life and the life of my family. Growing up she was always there for me and also as an adult. She had a very positive influence on my life encouraging me to travel, to go into business, to pursue learning, and to live and love life. We all loved her stories and the wonderful book she wrote about our family. We will have such wonderful memories of her all our life. We will miss you Aunt Esther. Carolyn Packham and family
