Ester was a mother to more than her own children, a friend to anyone who needed one, a teacher to anyone who listened to her. She had a tremendous sense of humor, and would have loved that her granddaughter danced at her wake. Her family aches at the loss of her passing, but no doubt, as is the case when any person of such effect goes before us, we will all find that the pain will mellow to gratitude at having been part of her life.
