To Family & Friends of Esther Wood: I am so sorry to hear of her passing, I too worked with Esther for many years. Even years after I left the bank she was always there to help and assist me when I needed it. Her colorful personality was noticed by all, her wit and charming ways could never be replace at the bank again. I do know she is in a better place now with the Lord to protect her because she helped so many people here on earth. God Bless you all and Esther Rest in Peace. Your work friend, Debbie Ryan-McMahon
