We are saddened to hear about Aunt Esthers passing. She was a dedicated wife, mother, and such a role model for each of us.
Our grandparents, parents, and families grew up in a time when they only knew hard work, personal responsibility, work ethic, commitment, and self sacrifice with a deep faith in God. They were truly a demonstration of patriotic freedom and belief in a greater good. I just can’t imagine the reunion with friends and family members that have gone before us, they were all watching for Aunt Esther as Jesus took her home. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that you will see her again. We love you. Gene & Jane Earnhardt
Esther is one of the kindest, smartest, wittiest souls I have ever known. She was an accomplished individual to overcome any obstacle from a college education, to a complex job. And, this was done during a time when most are slowing down from rearing their children. I would say that rearing her children was her greatest accomplishment. She cared for my daughter from infancy to a few years old. Not only did she leave a mark on these babies, she left a legacy to the parents.
Burgess Family, your Mom, Grandmother touched a lot of people’s lives. May the Lord give you comfort and peace, now, and the days to follow. In prayer and sympathies
Hey Burgess family,
I spent many years working with Esther at Collins and Aikman. She was a dedicated and caring person. I know she is in heaven now and I hope she is making a big batch of homemade biscuits for Willy, family and friends.
Prayers for the family.
