Esther loved to travel far and wide, writing about her travels, making

scrapbooks and drinking coffee with her friends and family. She spent many

summers and Christmases with her sister Veva.

Esther loved life and lived each day by thanking God for family and friends.

“The Lord is my rock,

And my fortress,

And my deliverer;

My God, my strength,

In whom I will trust.”
