I met Esther as my son’s, Justin and Joshua are friends with Luke and Lawson. Any time I saw Esther at a sporting event or when I dropped the boys off at their house, Esther always had a smile on her face. You could see the love she had for her family. My deepest sympathies to all that loved Esther.

Ester was such a special and beautiful lady her pretty smile and hearty laugh would always brighten our “Bunko Gals” afternoons. I also recall the fun afternoon we gals spent in her driveway watching the solar eclipse with our black out glasses! I am blessed to have known her.
