Dear sweet Mom always greeting you with open arms and great big hugs. "Come sit and Eat,Eat" she would say as she was bringing out food and placing it on the table. She would talk to me, when my husband (her son) and I would go to visit, in English but she would forget and speak in Hungarian. I would just nod and say yes or oh. Then one day I found that I could understand some of the words. Everytime we talked she would say that we understood each other and she would wink at me. She was a wonderful woman whom many did not understand what a hard life she had. You will be missed Mom, we all love you and will never forget you. Make those cabbage rolls and chicken for all in Heaven. Till we meet again,love you. Love Andy, Pat and kids. - Posted by: Patricia Lippai (daughter in law) on: Oct 15, 2012

“Accept the children the way we accept trees—with gratitude, because they are a blessing—but do not have expectations or desires. You don’t expect trees to change, you love them as they are.” My first impression of Eszter was the love of her children and grandchildren; words do no justice in describing her smile when their names rolled off her tongue. And I now see the same pattern of love blossoming from generation to generation; her wisdom will go forward with you every step of the way. Our condolences to the family on her passing, you are in our thoughts and prayers. - Posted by: The Capovilla's (Friend) on: Oct 15, 2012

Gramma always called Andy her "beautiful boy", and was obsessed with feeding him: in her final days, she made Candace promise over and over to take care of Andy and to cook for him. Gramma was a truly beautiful woman, she always cared more for others than herself. Even as she knew her life was fading, she was worried for her children and grandchildren and didn't want to be a bother for them. She constantly reminded her family of her enduring love for each and every one of them. We love you Gramma, "with a love to time indefinite" (Jer. 31:3). - Posted by: Andy and Candace Lippai (Grandchildren) on: Oct 15, 2012
