Dear Esther is still so very much with us in many ways - pictures, little sayings and wise advice, gifts from her around the house and special memories - attending the local Fair, picking blueberries, preparing her delicious tacos.



Rest in Peace, Esther, dear, in the arms of your Precious Lord and Savior!

Dear Ralph and Jimmy,



My mother and I are truly saddened from the loss of your mother. I know you both loved your mother very much and her love will never end as she watches over you to guide you and give you both the strength and courage you need to continue on and provide the love and support for both your families. She has now found her inner peace and is in the care of Our Lord Jesus Christ. She will always be remembered, as the memories she created for and with her family will always live on!



With deepest sympathy,



Your Cousin Oti & Aunt Otilia

and children

What a dear friend was Esther! So kind, so generous, so loving, so spiritual and oh such a good cook! She thrilled us at home (hers and ours) and at Perez School with her delicious Mexican treats! Her devotion to her students and friends at Perez, her native land and her adpoted country was most special. We already miss this very lovely little Mexican lady! Our deepest sympathy to all the family.

Dear Ralph, Marisue & family,

Our heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathy to all of you during this difficult time. We know your pain and heartache all too well.



Esther was a brave and courageous woman in life as well as in the face of death. You should be proud of how hard she fought her battle. There is a small amount of comfort in knowing that her pain and suffering on Earth is over and that she is joyfully reunited with loved ones that have gone before her.



Please know that I am here for you as you were there for me and my family, proving that God gives us comfort in the form of good friends.



Love,

Roger, Angela & Dina
