My b’day will never be the same … I won’t be receiving a card from my Aunt Esther. I miss you and love you very much.
I am so sorry to hear of Esther’s passing. She was a very sweet person, the salt of the earth, very possitive, and few unkind words. My sympathy to all of the family.
ESTHER WAS OUR DEAR, DEAR, NEIGHBOR AND TRUE FRIEND. WE WILL MISS THAT LITTLE GIGGLE OF HERS. BILL AND ESTHER WERE GUESTS AT OUR HOME OFTEN. WE HAVE FOND MEMORIES OF THOSE DELIGHTFUL TIMES. SHE WILL BE MISSED AND LOVED FOREVER.
Mother:
I miss you so much.
Love, Judy
Aunt Esther you always made time spent with family special. I will forever remember your gentle smile, knowing glance, and “everything pink”. We miss you, and know you are in a better place.
