Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

  • Thanks Auntie Esther. Maizey still has and loves her blanket to this very day. Rest in peace. - Posted by: Chris Piotrowski (Family) on: Jan 16, 2015

  • Esther was Bruce's mother's best friend from their school days. Lydia always spoke very highly of Esther and some of Lydia's children always called her Auntie Esther. She was of that generation that was strong and independent and she lived that way up until very recently. She was one of the last links to that generation of people who were our parents and grandparents. She will be missed. Bless you, Esther! - Posted by: Bruce and Maureen Williams (family friends) on: Jan 15, 2015

  • Linda The little baby hats your lovely mom made my four grandchildren are tucked away in their memory boxes for their children and grandchildren. She will be remembered thoughtfully by the girls and I. Judy Perras and Family - Posted by: Judy perras (Friend) on: Jan 15, 2015
