Steph, Thanks so much for letting us know about our dear Esther. I was just thinking about her the other day & realized she hasn't been on here in a long while. I remember Esther was a very active member when I first joined this board & she always managed to pop in long enough to update us or to help others that needed support or encouragment. She is such a wonderful person with a big heart. She has always been one of my inspirations on this board. She really is a very special person and this makes me so sad to hear.
She always blew me away with all her adventures/trips she took. She made sure she went out & had fun when she could...not much slowed her down. I will be sending all the positive energy I have their way...& keeping her in my thoughts and prayers!
Chelee
