Not sure what to say?

I just listened to the "zoom" service -- it was very moving. My sympathy all over again is with the Collins family as they mourn their mom and grandmother and friend. She was a VERY special person, one I will never forget -- look forward to seeing her in heaven !

What a beautiful tribute to your Mother, a very remarkable woman. It was my privilege to know her and visit her a number of times with my sister-in-law Sue whenever I was in So. California. She will be missed!

She was a beautiful,special lady who touched so many lives in a warm & loving manner. Her love of God was very evident in how she lived her life. She will be missed but live on in the memory of so many.

I met our beloved Esther when I was 13 years old. Lucy had picked me to be on her volleyball team at school. Soon after she invited me to her house for her 13th Birthday pizza party. Esther made us homemade pizza like nothing I had ever tasted before in my life. I have been on the Collins team ever since. Esther was like a mother to me. She was a special friend. I loved our conversations. When she spoke, she spoke with softness-yet I could feel her strength and the connection that she...

Esther was a loving prayer partner to my family, a friend and inspiration of how we can live our lives to reflect the glory of God. Her family bears a legacy of faith and work well done. I will miss her.

You could feel Christ's presence when in the company of Esther Collins. She was more than a friend, she was my prayer warrior. May her memory continue to inspire!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I know you have many beautiful memories to help you through this difficult time.

She was a woman whose children could truly rise up and call her blessed. She was a blessing to her beloved husband, to her loving children and their spouses and to her grandchildren and great grandchildren. And friends of many years can testify to the blessing she was in their lives. She is to be honored.

We really enjoyed the opportunities to know Admiral Frank and Esther Collins through the years. We always remember their unconditional kindness and friendship. Esther loved watching football and always after San Diego Chargers game we would call each other and had a joyful conversation. We will miss her greatly and always remember the good memories and her friendly and warm smile.
