I grew up in Westchester, attended Everglades  Elementary, and remember Mrs. Kazer with fond memories.  My condolences to her family.

I never had the privilege of knowing Mrs. Kazer.  Her daughter Livvy and I were friends at Coral Gables High.  My sincerest condolences to the entire family.  May her memory be for a blessing.

It's so hard to find the right words,
But we hope you'll know somehow,
Our sympathy and very warmest thoughts
Are with the family now. With Many Loving Memories, Estelle and O'Neal McGrew

I too remember Mrs Kazer fondly from Everglades Elementary.. What a incredible principal.  Rip Mrs Kazer. S

I was saddened to hear the news of Mrs. Kazer's passing.  Coming from a private school environment and transitioning to Everglades Elementary in 2nd grade, I remember how Mrs. Kazer comforted me and made me feel at home along with reasuring my family that I was in good hands. My 3 sisters that followed in my footsteps and I remember our years at Everglades very fondly and Mrs. Kazer will always have a place in our hearts.

RIP Mrs. Kazer.  You inspired 1000's of children with your kindness and understanding - including me and my brothers.  Thank you and God Bless.

Im sadden to hear the loss of such a fine an wonderful woman. I remember Mrs Kazer from Everglades she was one of the Best principals in my entire schooling career. I remember the day Ms Sparks an Ms Cockerofft came into class an had several students sing a short tune. I was one of the few that were chosen. I didnt realize at that moment, but, shortly came to feel quite proud as we were chosen to sing a tribute to Ms Kazer @ Coral Park Sr High for her retirement ceremony. I felt so lucky an Proud to be appart of that Gift to her. She will be missed but forever remembered <3

Esther was one of a kind--a visionary and ahead of her time. She was a role model for me and many other principals. My condolences to her family.

I remember Esther Kazer our Principal at Everglades1957-63. We were lucky to attend such a fine school and receive an excellent education and preparation for life. A true icon. My your memory be a blessing

I grew up in Westchester and attended Everglades Elementary. I remember Mrs. Kazer fondly. She touch many lives. God Bless her and keep her.

My thoughts go out to your family, you will be missed by many of us former students. RIP

Rest in peace Mrs Kazer. What a great lady. She kept us safe back in the day at Everglades Elementary.

Those of us who were lucky enough to have attended Everglades Elementary when Mrs. Kazer was the principal have never forgotten her - she was an inspiration. May her family take comfort in knowing what a difference she made in the lives of so many.

I was a student at Everglades elementary 63' to 69'.  I remember Mrs. Kazer well and very fondly.  Got into a bit of mischief.  She was kind to me when the teachers were seeking severe retribution. Sorry to hear of her passing.

What a legacy Mrs. Kazer has left this world. Not only her remarkable family but those she touched as an educator. So many of us that grew up in Westchester (Miami) fondly remember her from Everglades and feel her influence on our lives. As a Principal I am positive she influenced all of those teachers who gave us the excellent education that shaped our futures. I hope she knew how effective her guidance and efforts were.  God bless her family during this sad time, and know that we too, share in your loss.

Esther and my mother first taught together at Coral Way Elementary before I was born... then later worked together for many years at Everglades Elementary. Our families were friends, and I send my love to Cookie, Liv, Ralph and the rest of the extended family. She was such a special person in so many people's lives.

My love for learning was in part the result of the leadership and guidance Mrs. Kazer instilled in her faculty and her students at Everglades Elementary.  May her family and friends be comforted in the knowledge that she influenced many lives with her kindness and intellect. I have been truly blessed having known her.

From an alumna of Northwestern University, to the family of Esther Romanoff Kazer, I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences for your loss, and as you grieve, may God the hearer of prayer help you to endure this trying time and grant you peace as spoken of at Psalm 65:2

I will always remember Mrs. Kazer quite fondly.  She was my first grade teacher at Coral Way Elementary when she left to become principal at Everglades Elementary.  I later attended fifth and sixth grade at Everglades, where I won the spelling bees.  Mrs. Kazer made me feel very special when she announced how proud she was that one of her own students had performed so well.  May she rest in peace and her family find comfort in wonderful memories of such a fine lady.
