Esther was such an amazing  person! From the first time we met her she welcomed not just us, but our friends as well,  into her life and her home. She was so gracious & kind & shared whatever she had with whomever crossed her path. We can all learn from her example. What a beautiful legacy to leave behind! ❤️🦋🕊

Esther was one of the finest women I have ever met. She was always kind, loving, smart, witty and caring. Those are just some of the adjectives to describe a remarkable woman. She raised great children, loved her kids and husband dearly, and positively impacted many, many people, including me. Her welcoming smile and laughter were contagious. She was a giver of her time, her love and her wisdom. She loved God, her children and her fellow man. She was a force of good in this world and now is hugging her husband in heaven. I will miss her but I know I will see her again.  

Every time I have bread and butter pickles I will be thinking of her. Best form of payment for Helping her landscape.  She was a special lady to me and my family and she'll surely be missed by so many

Esther was an incredibly kind and loving person who made an immense impact on anyone who met her.  She will be missed by so many and remembered by all.

Loved by all who crossed her path. She delighted those around her. 

What a special lady our beloved Esther was.  How she enjoyed always opening her home, but especially to Wednesday night prayer meetings.  When you stop by for any reason she would say, “Oh sit down and let me make you a cup of tea.” The thing that was of the upmost of importance was sharing the Good News with everyone. How she desired to share Jesus so like Esther, they too would have Eternal Life.  We’ll miss you here Esther, but will see you in glory.

“If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;  for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.” Romans 10:9,10

Birdie Lady was the epitome of Matthew 25:34-36 . Her gift of hospitality her love for people was extended to anyone and everyone, young or old.   I love and will always remember how she had snacks for the postal people when they would bring her her mail. She would open her home to them for a quick chat, a cool glass of water and a snack before they would go on to her neighbors. She even had snacks in a cooler by her door with a note if she was out for the day. She did not want them to think she had forgotten  them. They mattered to her !   Missionaries were always welcomed to her home. Not just to visit  but to stay 8in her home  for as long as they needed.   Young and old always had a cup of tea, a snack, a chat and much love at Birdies table.   She was always gracious and loving to all that came to her door. If there were traveling salesmen still I think she would have had them in for tea and a chat before sending them on their way.  She is one of a kind !!   Love you Birdie Lady I will see you walking the streets of gold some day !! kookookachoooo  !!
