So sorry for your loss 🙏
What a blessing to know you precious lady! I'll see you later on.
Love you and you will be missed.
Esther was our neighbor for 10 to 12 years and she was an amazing person always laughing when we were around her. She always seemed to be so kind to me and Maria and we really miss the whole family and her and it's so sad that this happened but I'm happy for her because she's in the arms of Jesus.
