My heart goes out to the entire family for the unspeakable loss of Esther. As you remember her amidst the tears, I hope there are memories that also bring happiness and laughter. As a lifelong Degrassi fan, I'm sending special condolences to Miriam as I just learned about the loss of your beautiful sister. Wishing you and your family all the comfort in the world.

Essey - it has been ten years since danced off to heaven. We miss you every day. Somehow the sun does not shine so brightly on earth. But I am sure heaven shines brighter than ever. I am so grateful for the kind memories of Esther posted here by others who knew her. Thank you so much.

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.

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. I can only imagine how much Esther benefitted from having you as a mother during her life and I hope that your heart and mind will carry you through with the wonderful memories of the times shared, laughs enjoyed and tender moments cherished. We are all thinking about you and hope to see you soon.
Much love Olivia, Deb, Rob and Adeline Richardson

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.
