Dear Jack,

We were so sorry to hear the news of Esther's passing. She was always trying to stay positive and cheerful throughout her illness.

We will always remember the fun we all had at those dance classes years ago. It was Esther's initiative to socialize after class that sealed the friendship.

You will remain in our thoughts and prayers

Dear Jack,



I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss! Esther was such a "lady" with such impeccable taste. I've admired her for a lot of years and know that she was your life!



I wish you deep healing, Jack, as you walk the path, day by day, in search of a "new normal."



Love and friendship Always.....

Mrs. Reimer was our neighbor on 86th St. in Chicago. My siblings and I enjoyed visiting her and the puppies--I remember Susie and Sassy. She was always so kind and welcoming to all of us. I like to think of her getting back with some of the 'old gang' from 86th St.--Carl and Lil Ludwig, and Ken Panfil, to name a few. Say "hi" to my dad, Mrs. Reimer.

Love,

Vonni Panfil
