To Esther's Family,
I just recently learned of your loss. I had the privilege of knowing Esther from Willow Knolls Residential Pool. Countless summers were spent there with Esther teaching me how to swim and then watching us neighborhood kids during the day and evening while we swam. It is very rare to meet someone who was so gifted to work with children. We truly tried Esther's patience numerous times and she never wavered in her kindness and treating us all like her own kids. I had the pleasure to see her amazing garden when I was older and had a child of my own. I have often thought of Esther through out these past years and have fond memories of my childhood summers at the pool. It is rare that you find someone who makes such a positive memorable impact on your life, Esther was that person. I am deeply sorry for your loss and blessed to have had Esther in my life.

Aunt Esther will be in my heart forever. She taught me everything I know about quilting and was a true inspiration. She was more than my Aunt...she was my friend. Rest well, Aunt Esther. I will see you again.

Heartfelt condolences go out to Esther's immediate family while she was a resident at LHV.

Our daughters first introduction to swimming was with Esther.  She was calm and caring, and reduced the anxious concerns of the kids.  I would run into her at Kohl’s and she would ask about the girlls!  
Her spirit was gentle and loving.  A great lady! 

Aunt Esther was my favorite Aunt. I remember when she took me to see the movie, The Sound of Music. And I remember the brown corduroy jumper she made for me. I loved it so much. But not as much as I loved her.
Rest in peace Aunt Esther. Give my mother a hug when you see her, along with all of her sisters and brothers, and Grandma and Grandpa.
