    Our sympathy to Coy, Coleen, and families. I enjoyed getting to know Esther a few years ago, and visiting with her on the mail route.I believe she told me once that she and my mother attended school together at one time, I know they were the same age. Rest in peace, Esther. Love to all.

    Our sympathy to Coy, Coleen, and families. I enjoyed getting to know Esther a few years ago, and visiting with her on the mail route. I remember picking blackberries in her yard and I was the recipient of other garden produce from time to time. She told me once that she and my mother attended school together at Mt. Erie–I know they were the same age. Rest in peace, Esther. Love to all.
