My dearest Aunt Ester💕 You are the reason I loved science so much. One of my earliest memories is when you took me as a very young girl to the hospital that you worked at. You pricked my finger and showed me what my blood cells looked like magnified under your work microscope. I still remember that like it was yesterday.. You had a huge influence on me. You inspired me to study Clinical Laboratory Science and follow in your footsteps. I will always be grateful for your encouragement and support. You were like a brilliant ray of sunshine in my young life. I love you and will forever miss you. My wonderful  Aunt Ester.

When I came to California and had nowhere else to go Ester welcomed me into her home, and yes, always made me feel like part of her family. I will always remember the day she taught me to make tamales, for Easter. She was a wonderful woman and will always have a place in my heart. She showed me kindness and love. My deepest sympathy  to the family 😪. 

I always enjoyed getting to sit and talk with Ester. She had a way of making everyone feel as if they were a part of her family. One of my fondest memories was when she came to visit the girls in Kansas and we all met out at the lake for Labor Day Weekend. While the kids and everyone was playing water-sports, she and I pulled our lawn chairs a little ways into the lake and just  talked for hours. And she always enjoyed kidding me about having a crush on Lizzie when we were teens. I am just thankful that I met her and know she will always be a part of my life and memories. May her sweet spirit fly with the Angels now.  

Dear Bill, Kim, Erin and Sean,
 I was sorry to hear about Esters passing.  I did not know her but I remember meeting her once at one of your Cinco de Mayo parties.  We chatted a bit and she seemed like a very kind and loving mom and grandmother.  She looked so happy to be surrounded by all the people she loved and that loved her. I am sure you will all miss her and may she Rest In Peace.

Kim, I have sweet memories of your mom playing Bunco with us when she visited you.  She was a darling, just like you!  I know you’re gonna miss her so much. My heart is sad knowing you and your family are so heartbroken with her passing. Praying for you and yours and may your mom Rest In Peace. 
Tammy

I will miss your stories and our shared laughter.  We had good times. I knew your grandkids thru your stories. I enjoyed the years we worked together. You taught me about life. Rest in peace my friend. 

I love you Aunt Esther!  You will always have a special place in my heart. I thank you for comforting my mother and staying with her after my father and sister's passing.  It gave me peace of mind.  I will always remember you with a cup of coffee, or your tablet in your hand.  You were either playing games, or keeping us all up to date with the family.  My family and I will truly miss you.  With sincere condolences, Gregory Palomera and family.






We love you Aunt Ester!  You were always there with a smile and a laugh.  You brought the family together at special times and always kept us up with the family happenings.
