We are sad to hear about Esther's passing. Dad and I have had many enjoyable visits with Esther and worried about her after Mom left Fountain West. She made Mom's stay there much more enjoyable. We are all thinking of you at this time.

My deepest sympathy to all who mourn Esther's passing. Both she and Kenneth were part of my growing up years at Nashua High along with my best friends Marjorie and Margaret Knight. It would be nice to hear from any of their children who might read this message as I had delivered old pictures to Harry Stough years ago in hopes he would pass them along. God's blessings to all of Esther's family(s) and friends.

What a loss. My condolences. She had a strong spirit, I so enjoyed being around her. I can only marvel at all the 4ths of July she stood in the farm kitchen and cooked fried chicken, dressed like she was going out for the evening and cracking wise with all of us. At family gatherings she and my dad were always side by side, I think their bond was very deep. May God grant her peace.
