Esther was a very good friend to my mother.  They met in high school.  They remained friends through the years,  especially when both of their families had ended up in East Whittier!  When my mom passed in 2014, Esther was very kind and supportive of our family.  My condolences to her family at this sad time.  I know my mom is so happy to see her old friend after all these years!  RIP Ester and give mom a hug for me!   ❤️Erna Granado Johnson (Lulu’s daughter!)

Friends at the Tamarack for fun.  Cheers to always a good time at the RACK ❤️

I heard a song and those were the words that described my mom for me   Filled my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness ease my troubles that’s what you did    You will be with me until I no longer exist 💔

I’m so grateful that I was able to visit you when I was in CA last year. I will never forget how you were always there for me and I will cherish our friendship forever. 💔

I will miss you my beautiful friend.  Rest in Peace and we will meet again!

When we all decided to visit you, we bombarded your house.

She was so excited to show you her new scooter, you told her to be careful. not to run over anyone.

when you came to visit for Christmas. The baby thought your walker was a ride, so you kept driving him around.

On one of our many visits you and Damian relaxing with you watching T.V

You and your great grandchildren. Thank you for always letting us stay with you, when I would do my random visits. I made sure we always got food from your favorite places.

I am so thankful that we were able to spend Thanksgiving together. We had so many laughs. Miss you.

Thank you for coming to my graduation when I got my degree.  You were so proud when you found out I graduated with honors and went into Biomedical Engineering. You told me to stand my ground and don't let those men boss me around. I laughed and said I won't don't worry.

I am so happy you were able to come to my wedding. I love you!!
