    I am so very saddened to hear about the passing of Esther. As the mother of Noell (such a wonderful friend to me since high school), Esther has also always been so very special to me. She was so very kind and sweet, and always made everyone seem so welcome in her presence. And, each time I think of her, it always makes me smile. I will miss her; miss her smile; and, I will even miss the sound of her voice . . .

    I’m going to miss Esther so much! Things just won’t be the same without her! Her smile could light up a room in an instant! I’m blessed to have met such a wonderful woman!
