Esther was a beautiful force that we felt everytime we got to interact with her. I knew her from Jazzercise and then periodically outside of that. Her faith was comforting and inspiring and she was a prayer warrior! We prayed many times together as it was her first thought to do. She will be missed!

Esther,
My heart is broken... I wish I would have hugged you our last time together.
I wish I would have thanked you for your friendship.
Still, my heart also rejoices knowing you are with our Lord and Savior singing with the angels.
I will never forget you, Esther. I will never forget how you have prayed for my family. I will never forget your kindness.
Love, your friend, Kathy
