Esther was my girl scout leader for many years. She was always
willing to help and was so encouraging. My thoughts and prayers are
with you during this difficult time.

I was fortunate to meet Esther a few years ago while I was doing my family geneology. It seems her gr. grandmother was my 4th generation gr. grandmother. Esther was gracious enough to invite my husband and I into her home and share her memories that she had of our ancestor and also gave me a picture of our grandmother that she had copies of. We spent the afternoon talking about our relatives (some I even remembered meeting!)and looking at pictures of my ancesters. I will always be greatful to Esther for the kindness she showed us that day and also for the family history that she was able to share with me.I know Esther will be missed by all that knew her.
