We miss you so much Essey. You were so brave. Time does not make your passing easier to bear.

I just learned of Esther's passing and wish to express my sympathies to her family and how sad I am on hearing the news. Esther was our son's first babysitter back in Oakville and I remember her well as a lovely young lady who was unusually strong, talented, and independent. She loved looking after our son and he adored her. I've thought of her often through the years and will never forget her.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I am grateful to have had you in my life. I miss you so much.

A bright shining star watching over her loved ones. Our thoughts are with your family.

We miss you beyond words.

She was so gentle, sweet and kind. It is such a great loss.

So sorry to hear of Esther's death...three years ago now. Esther and my girls were in school together and danced together at Fleming School. I remember to be a sweet girl and I can't imagine how devastating her loss is to her family. Rest in peace Esther...Jane Currah (Dunbar)

You will always be the brightest shining light in our lives.

Essie - You never leave our hearts for a second.

There will never be another like you.

We miss you always Essey.

Silvia, We are all so saddened by your loss. I can't even imagine how difficult it would be to lose a child. You are such a wonderful person and teacher who has inspired so many young minds.

We are all thinking about you and hope to see you soon.
Much love Olivia, Deb, Rob and Adeline Richardson

Dear brother my condolence to you and your wife and family. Even thou it is hard to part with a loved one especially a daughter know in your hearts she will no longer suffer and she is part of God s Angel. May she rest in peace.

Dear Dace (Silvia), John, Miriam, Valerie and all family -- our hearts grieve with you in this the hardest of all partings. No words are adequate. "Augsa aiz zvaigznem tu gaisma reiz klusi, Ko seitan cereji, sasniegts tur bus. Augsa aiz zvaignem, tur tiksies reiz mili Tie, kas seit pasaule skirusies bus: Dvesele skatisies dvesele dzili, Muziga skaidriba mieru tie gus." Love is eternal.
