I just found out today about Ester's passing and I am so sorry for your loss. I sure you don't need anyone to tell you what a special person she was! I am so lucky that I had Ester and Gerald to be part of my life as they made it so much better!

To the Beekil Family,
I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. I worked with your Mom back in the 80's at RH Donnelley. She was the most wonderful person. Sweet kind. She was my work mom. My prayers are with your family in this time of sorrow. I hope happy memories will help you through.

Tante Esther. I met you when Uncle Yankel brought you over to meet the family, over 60 years ago. A short while later, I was the ring boy at your wedding. You have been my special Aunt ever since. I will miss you so much, Tante Esther. Your loving nephew "Genie"

Auntie Esther will be missed deeply by my family and I. She was definitely one of a kind! She always had the warmest smile, along with kindest words to share. I like to imagine that my mom , Lois Beekil, has already reconnected with Auntie Esther, her dearest Sister N Law and dearest friend. They will take care of each other, along with Uncle Gerry and the Beekil Brother's! Auntie Esther's passing has brought the end of a generation to our family. All I can say is Heaven has one more very special angel. XO
