My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all the family and pray that God will give you peace in this difficult time in your life.
I know what it is like as I lost my Mom about 4 weeks ago and she was 95 years old. I would visit with Ester's Mom as often as I could and she was a loving person.
I had the privilege to get to know Ester at White Oak Manor and will always remember her sweet hugs and encouragement.
Ester know that my prayers are with you and know that time heals but your Mom is resting in the arms of her Lord which she loved and trusted.
May God be with all of your family.
