Esther was a vibrant and loving woman who had many admirers throughout her life. She was so special to our family that she was included in all of our events and special occasions. In fact, she was an important and loving member of our family. She loved to talk about business, finance, stocks, and events of the day. And she was always interested in the lives of all the younger members of the family, and so they felt truly loved and cherished by her. She was always more concerned about others than herself. Esther was a shining light to all who knew her, and she will be greatly missed.
