Guestbook

  1. Esther, you are the BEST mother-in-law I EVER had. I will miss your feisty wit, boisterous laughter, pearls of wisdom, and overall personality, until the proverbial “cows come home.” Your “bubble gum” snakes, buckeyes, fried okra, and $100 bill birthday are memories I will NEVER forget. I know you are with our Lord, other family members and friends in paradise, and that we will once again embrace, and laugh on the other side one day. Until then, goodbye Esther, and the ultimate peace to you!
