Not sure what to say?

Esther was my Nursing instructor at AWC in 1990, what an amazing woman she was! When I was struggling with my grades she called me in her office she genuinely made me feel like she truly cared! Today I still quote her and her meticulous Nursing! I´ll never forget her.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

My sincere condolences to Tanya and family. I had the honor of knowing Esther via AWC. A very loving and committed lady, to her family and profession. Another beautiful Angel received her wings.

Esther was a good friend and colleague. She should be recognized by Arizona Western College for laying the foundation for a strong and successful Associate Degree Nursing Program.

She was one of my favorite instructors in the nursing program, she will be missed

My condolences to Esther's family. Your mother was one of my nursing instructors. She was more than a teacher for me though. She was a mentor and often a guiding light. My father had passed just prior to me starting the nursing program. Your mother saw something in me and made sure that my personal turmoil did not derail me from the path of becoming a nurse. Without her I would have never become a nurse. I will forever be grateful for her guidance.

Tanya and family- Your mom was a very committed instructor and director of the AWC nursing program. My office was next to Esther's for around 20 years and enjoyed staying up to date on you and Gail. She was a strong woman who was committed to educating nurses. My thoughts are with you as you adjust to this loss in your life. Gay

Sending prayers to Tanya, Brianna, Ed and the girls Mila and Ava. I have so many memories of Esther since she has known me since I was 4 when I met Tanya through swimming. She was very supportive of Tanya in everything she did but especially in her swimming career. Her and my Mom would speak on the phone for what seemed like hours. Funny thing is now Tanya and I do the same. She will be greatly missed but is now the Angel watching over Tanya, Bri and the girls. Rest in Peace Esther! Much...
