I tried to get away for the service but couldn't. Esther was a fovorite of mine and I loved helping her because she was sooo appreciative. What I liked most about her was she always said it like it was and didn't care if you agreed with her or not. (She was usually right) She is not suffering anymore and is busy catchng Burnell up on all that happened after he left or she might be giving him hell for leaving too soon. SHE WAS GREAT!!!
So sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. It's always difficult to part with those you love. We're thinking of you, with our love and sympathy to you. Maxine and Larry Harms, Sanborn
My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time. Aunt Esther was my favorite always full of energy and laughter. I will always cherish my visit to Esther & Burneell's farm. Love: Debra(Kopp)Ross
What wonderful memories I have of my Aunt Esther and Burnell too. They both so embraced life together. I will not forget the wonderful trips to Iowa and staying with our Dear Grandma Betten and knowing that Esther and Burnell would always be there. Greg and Jackie my condolences to you, Esther was a wonderful Aunt and I will miss her.
Sincere sympathy to Greg & Linda; Pete and Jackie and their families. We remember lots of good time with Burnell and Esther. Always a smile and laugh whenever you talked to her. From Allen and Donna Vander Veen
Such a wonderful woman, so full of energy and spunk! We will miss the laughter and good times with you Grandma. Thank you for being the most awesome Grandma and Great Grandma ever...... We love you and find peace in knowing that we will see you again! Love, Jeff, Kim, Corrie and Jennifer
I used to work with Esther at Sr, care. I was one of her nurses. What a personality. Esther was bigger than life. She would get so mad and get over it just as fast. I will remember Esther. Prayers for the family and friends.
Extend my sympathy to Greg and Linda, Pete and Jackie. Also to Jeff,Kim and Jennifer who would go to Iowa each year to visit Esther. Jackie brought to my attention Mom Grace Van Meeteren and Esther pass away the same day fours years apart.
Sending my sympathy to each of you . Esther was a very special lady that I have known for a long time. We had lots of good times bowling and golfing, Always looked forward to seeing her and her smile . She will be missed a lot by everyone that knew her.
