Papa Don,
you know you and Mema were a third set of grandparents for our children- Ernest, Caitlin and Nora. Gary and I were so blessed 21 (almost 22) years ago to meet the both of you and become accepted into Mema's wonderful world of childcare and first time parent care.

Sorry to hear of Esters passing. We bowled together many years, but have lost contact. All the old bowlers will be thinking of her often and will remember the family in our prayers. Good bye Sweet Ester.

I'm sorry to hear that Esther passed away. I will keep the family in my thoughts and prayers.

We were sorry to hear of the passing of Esther. Our thoughts and prayers go to Don and Esther's family. God bless you all and know that she suffers no more.

We were so sorry to hear about Miss Esther. She was loved by all of us and will be greatly missed but we know she is in a better place. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and we know your memories will bring you lots of comfort. We Love you Don and are always here for you.

We were so sorry to hear of Esthers
passing.. we only met her once through Greg & Dunice, but that one
time was memorable and full of love.
May the good Lord bless all of you and help you find peace.

Her Christmas parties were legendary and full of love and for...

Mrs. Ester will be sorely missed by family and friends. Our love and our hearts go out to Don and all the family.
