To Aunt Esther's family, sorry to hear of your loss. You were very fortunate to have your Mother/grandmother (etc) for so many years. Cherish those memories and remember all the unconditional love that you were blessed with. I am certain that she was happy to see all of her family that left here before her when they greeted at the gate.

Aunt Esther….I will always remember:
Christmas Cookie baking days.
The BIG Scotch pine Christmas trees in the living room.
New Years Eve Tripoli games in Detroit which dad said “not going again” cause of the bad weather when we would leave at 12:02 am…(you know how Johnny was)
All the candy you made and gave away
All the quilting blankets you, mom and aunt Vi worked on..
All the new sewing projects you shared with us…..
For the two wonderful children you have left behind...
And for all my memories I will never forget

Love Always Nancy May

Esther was truly a lady and will be very much missed. The reports on her annual trips to the quilting show in Canada were always so interesting. She took pride in creating beautiful quilts to give to others which was an extension of her giving nature.
