My favorite memory of Miss Esther was simply her laugh. I will have her laugh on a loop in my mind when I need a reason to smile! 
Another is when, on one morning,  I was encouraging her to come to breakfast and I put music on and had her and I in  a conga line. 
Her laugh and smile was infectious and she will be greatly missed. 
Mambo, Esther, mambo!

One of my memories of Mrs. Silva is sitting at the dining table there was a fish tank that was beside the table. Jerry said to me "Tina watch this!" Jerry continued "Hey Mama look, look!" and Mrs. Silva would say "No! Jerry" but she couldn't help herself and would look at the fish tank that had a clam in it and it would open and close and the second Mrs. Silva would look at the clam she would yawn so big and her eyes would get watery too. Jerry would laugh because she would yawn ever time she looked at the clam. Jerry said "See Tina my Mom yawns every time she looks at the clam. It was pretty funny too. What was really worse for her the tank was in the pathway to the kitchen so she would glance at the clam on her way to the kitchen and would yawn. Funny.  Mrs. Silva I really enjoyed your company with Mr. Silva, Terry and Jerry when I came to visit you last month I had with you. It's a memory I will always treasure. You and your family have always had and will always have a special place in my heart.  Thank you for all the times you invited me to Church and to dinner your heart felt warmth of your kindness will always stay with me.
