Thinking of Esther and the Cote family today. She was an amazing woman, wife, mother, sister, and aunt! We always loved going to the Cote house when we would visit Butte in the summers growing up. Esther was very calm and happy! She and Harp had a wonderful loving marriage! We miss them both!

Harp and family- she was one of a kind, I am so sorry for your loss. I am eternally grateful to have known and loved her. She is incredible. In every way.
