Esther will be remembered as a loving and caring, mother and friend. Always putting others ahead of herself and never once complaining.. She was a hard worker while taking care of her 8 children and her husband Jose. Esther loved to cook for her family and especially for family gatherings. She would always greet you with a hug, smile and blessing. When you left you would get three kisses. One for the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
