My sincere sympathy to Lester and the entire family on the death of Esther.
She was a great classmate and friend and I am sure she will be sadly missed by her family. She was justly proud of the family she and Lester reared and she will be missed by all.
God Bless you all. Bob Herr

Lester,
Our sympathy to you and your family. We knew "Essie" over the years and Dick sat at your table at the October 10, 2008 Banquet. Life is fragile but our Lord is strong. Please trust Him at all times and we pray that you will find new strength at this time.
Dick and Sally Erisman
Lester and family,
Our deepest sympathy during this difficult time. Over the years we enjoyed the fellowship with the Turners and all the Hubers at the Marticville church. We just saw Essie a few months ago serving us at a luncheon at the funeral of Pauline Charles. She was a special friend and will be sadly missed by all.
God is in control.
Al and Jean Charles
