Marsha,

I am very sorry to hear of Esther's passing. She has been a bright light in this world, and will be missed by many.

I liked and respected your Mom. Her laugh was heartfelt, and her spirit was strong. I will always remember her as a woman who didn't merely survive her years, but truly lived her life. I feel blessed to have known her.

It is my hope that you and your family will soon be able to focus on the happy memories, and in that way keep Esther in your hearts.
