Esther and I shared many day trips as we had many adventures together. We went to the very first Apple Festival together in the hopes of getting a booth to display our crafts that we were making at that time.

So Many years, and so many laughs, It was always a good day when we were off and running with Esther and don't forget to stop at Friendlys' for ice cream on the way home. Love you always , Delphine

So many memories of fun times together with our families! We remember Esther fondly as we make her half moon cookies regularly!

I knew Esther for many years. All of our kids attended her nursery school. Also Esther was eyeball deep in the LaFayette Apple Festival as I have been as well for many years. She was a wonderful lady. David Baker

I went to Lafayette Nursery School for a couple years in the mid-80s. She was super kind and made learning so much fun.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. Esther was a leader in the Lafayette community. She was there for everyone and so honored to have known her. She will be missed.

Esther brought so much to the LaFayette community. She was a wonderful lady who will be remembered always.

These beautiful words captures the essence and legacy of a wonderful person. My thoughts and prayers to Tami, Wendy, and Kim. Heidi Smith
