Dear Family,



I was graduated from ST. Thomas Aquinas School in 1957 and St. Maria Goretti H.S. in 1961. I remember Ester as a fun-loving, caring person. She will be missed. You have my sympathy and especially my prayers.

It is with deep sadness that I heard of Ester's passing. Ester and I went to St. Thomas Aquinas school together and in 2002 when we had a 45 year reunion, we contacted Ester. I wish she could have attended the reunion as it was a wonderful time for all. All of us schoolmates of Ester will keep her and her family in our prayers.

Dear Danielle,



I just hung up the phone with you a few minutes ago. I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear of your Mother's passing. I apologize for not calling sooner or attending the service as I was in DC.



Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you or your family.

To the sisters of Ester Arzio,



I don't know if any of you remember me, but I was a friend of Ester's many years ago. She patronized the Ritnerhouse Hair Salon on 12th and Ritner Streets a long time ago. All of us at the shop used to call her "Teri," taken from the last three letters of her first name. She never liked her given name, so I suggested that we call her Teri and it stuck. We had so much fun together, but lost contact some time ago. I tried looking Teri up a few years ago, but was unable to locate her. I am now residing in Spring, Texas, which is located in the Houston area. I happened to be online looking up another obituary when I stumbled across your sister's name. I was totally taken back at what I was reading. I am so very sorry for your great loss. I am hoping that if any of you remember me, you will email me with your phone number. I would really like to speak with one or all of you, if at all possible.



Please extend my condolences to Raymond and Danielle. Although I have met them both....and Ray even cut my hair at their home, I doubt if either would remember me. I also send my condolences to your brother and the rest of your families. All of you will be in my thoughts and prayers.



With my sincerest sympathy,
