She was a great friend when I came to Canada with my husband. We were neighbour's in Sherwood Park AB. She befriended me and was a light in my loneliness after moving. I am still here. Miss you Esther you were a great person.

My thoughts are with the family this week and especially tomorrow at the service. I had an enjoyable visit with Aunt Esther this summer and did not think it would be the last.

Thinking of all of you tomorrow during the funeral. I'm thankful for Aunt Esther and Uncle John's hospitality to me the years I was in university in Edmonton.

I had the pleasure to meet Esther during her stay at Foothills Hospital in Calgary. I enjoyed her company and found her a very special, caring person. My condolences to her family.
