Esther always seemed to be such a strong woman. Since she and Lynn had no children their bond was so very strong; she kept on after Lynn died without any complaint. I remember her as a happy, laughing lady. She dealt with all her challenges with a smile. Living so far away meant it seems like forever since I’ve seen her; yet I know that she will always be in my heart. After all, she was my dad’s sister and she knew all the funny stories that he’d never tell!! We all had the chance to learn a lot from her about life. Georgia
