I will miss your sweet mom, Esther! Ever since the first time I meet her while hanging with my precious friend Karen in jr. Yhigh, I have loved her. She became like another mom to me. I know things will never be the same without her, but she has left a legacy to be so very proud of. We are so blessed because we know, as fellow believers, that this is not the end. THANK YOU for sharing your mom with me. She was a precious woman with such deep and steady faith. She also made the best Swedish pancakes which I haved treasured over the years. Heaven is a warmer and more beautiful place having her there! She will be missed each day by those who loved you so. God bless, Donna K

Diane,Karen, & Families,
I would like to offer my condolences in the passing of
your Mother. You girls were fortunate to have her with you
for so long. Our parents passed away in 93 & 96. I Remember
your sister Donna, she was such a sweet girl. I used to live up
the block from you on Cottage. I know what it is to lose a
sister, my Twin sister Judy passed away on October 20,2013
of a very rare type of Kidney cancer in Florida. I'm Jane, one
of the Nelson twins. I thought I would write you this because
I am a Christian like the two of you are. I appreciated it so
much when Judy died hearing from people. I even heard
from Karlind Moeller.
Best Regards,
Jane Hertel

What a beautiful woman of faith and family. Her necklace of pearls made her feel beautiful but she was so much more than a string of beads. She was a woman more precious than jewels. We called her a friend. Thank you, Lord for her.
With loving memories,
Bob & Janet Hawkinson
