To all the family of Esther, If ever there was a woman who typified the grace of God, it was Esther. She was faithful to be at her place of ministry at either the organ or piano while I was pastor at Lockport Assembly of God. This morning in our service here in Massillon, OH, I preached from Hebrews 12:1-3 on the cloud of witnesses that are cheering us on as we run the race. Esther has joined that cloud and I know that she is encouraging us to run with patience the race hat is set before us. She was a joy to know. Her and Henry were some of the precious saints that were so supportive of our ministry. May God bless and comfort each of youduring this time. Our prayers are with you.

To My Cousins, I am so very sorry for your loss. I will miss my dear sweet Aunt Esther very much. Your mom led by wonderful example. She was a radiating light in the world always putting God first in all she did. Your mom never once passed judgment toward me but guided me by her example and words of encouragement and love. I am sure your mom is a beautiful addition to her heavenly home bringing joy to all those around her. I miss your mom here on earth but I find comfort in knowing she is at peace with her maker. God bless you and comfort you all during this difficult time. Michael and Alexander will miss her beautiful packages of homemade cookies at Christmas, and her Valentines goodies. She was also so thoughtful towards her great newphews. Blessings, Sharon

My Dearest Sister & Friend Esther & Family, There is so much more I wanted to say. Some things I was able to whisper to you before God took you home, some things I did not have an opportunity to say. Therefore, I want to take this time to thank you for always being present for me and my family with sisterly love and prayers. I will miss your special packages decorated so thoughtfully & beautifully wrapped. I’m sure the Post Office will miss not delivering them. We will all miss your lovely cards and thoughtful words. Thank you for all the years of making the lovely doll cakes for our girls birthdays. Also, thank you for ironing my hair with wax paper with such patience so I could have straight beautiful hair like yours. I remember our squabbles over you defending your dog Queenie. In looking back it probably was my cat, Butterball’s fault, he was the feisty one. How could I ever forget our swinging at the park. What wonderful memories I have of those special times we shared together. I fondly remember sitting on Mom & Dad’s front porch eating the wonderful rhubarb and tomatoes we had freshly picked from dad’s garden, and of course, the saltshaker was always present. Sister, thank you for all the years you devoted to Mom and Dad as I lived in Texas. Thank you for making mom’s room at the nursing home her own little haven/home that was decorated so beautifully and lovingly. You and your family have always been there for me, and my family: to laugh, cry, and encourage. I will miss your physical presence. Thanks for all the encouragement when Philip was so sick - you encouraged me from your heart with experience. You now have a spiritual body with no more pain and suffering. Your home with our Creator and with our loved ones gone before us. Love you dearly sister. Angela Each one of your family will always be dear to my heart and will always have a special place in my heart and home.

My dear Aunt, I miss you so! I have so many precious memories of spending time with you. So many fun summers that I spent with you as a child. Our snacks before bedtime of Peanut Butter Cap N' Crunch cereal. The awesome chicken soup you made with the special little noddles that I cannot find anywhere here in Texas. You always had love for me and my family, you always expressed the love for God that you had in your heart. Always warm and inviting, your home was a sweet haven for me, for all of us. I am so sad that you are not here with us; I can only find peace in knowing you are home, with the Lord and my precious father, and your dear husband, Uncle Henry. These past few years have been devastating for us all who remain, so many of our loved ones who have gone home to be with the Lord. We rejoice that none of you are continuing to suffer. You fought valiently against breast cancer, always with dignity and hope in your Lord for healing and peace. We will always participate in the Komen Race for the Cure in your honor and memory. I am eternally thankful for the opportunity my sisters, mother, and I for the time we were able to spend with you. I know it was quite a shock to you to see us all at your bedside; I know you know we were there with you; I know you heard our prayers; I know you knew of our deep love for you; and I know you felt our hands as we held your precious hand with that beautiful pink nail polish. I will treasure the memories I have of you forever, in my heart. Each time I see a flower, vibrant and full, I will think of you. Missing you, knowing you are at peace and whole. See you soon in eternity Love Michele

My Aunt Esther, a women of strength and courage. All of my life, I admired her and my Uncle Henry, raising my cousins - to whom I love, and pray for God to bring comfort to their hearts. We were and still are to this day a family encompassed by love. As children, we would ride our bikes down to our grandparents (Chiappone) house, were they had a garden full of fresh aroma's. That's when I learned to cook, as I would watch my Mom, Aunt Esther and Nannie prepare a family meal, I was intriqued by everyone having their own place in the kitchen. Nannie and Aunt Esther would give freely of themselves, volunteering at the hospital, playing the piano and/or organ at the church we were all raised. Our core values and foundation of life was based upon "God's Word". Time traveled by, my family moved to Texas, and later I moved to Australia for 5 years. Every 4-6 weeks since we left our hometown of Lockport, we would correspond. We shared wisdom, such as "peace be with you" Luke 24:36 and "All is Well", became our blessing to each other. Those words were shared during times of great joy and challenges. On March 9th, our family received an urgent prayer request: Pray for Aunt Esther, she's in ICU and unresponsive. God heard and answered our prayer. Within hours, My Mom, my two sisters' and I together flew to our hometown to be near my sweet Aunt. Leaving Houston - 70 degree's and humid to Lockport - 25 degree's, snow and sleet. Everyday between ICU visiting hours, I would walk to my grandparents little home, praying that my Aunt, cousins, their children and the rest of my family would recieve God's mercy upon them. At visiting hours, I would kneel beside my Aunt, with another family member and pray - God was there listening to our human needs and giving us comfort, since nothing humanly or medically made any sense. I would leave to tend to other matters, attempting to help my cousin home-school 4 children (2nd cousins) of various grades and courses. At the end of each night my Mom and I would pray for a peaceful night for everyone. Sleeping bags all lined up, as we joined my cousins' to help each other play tag with errands. Flashback. I drove to Lockport with a friend, when Aunt Esther relayed a medical emergency regarding her husband "Uncle Henry". I had a calling from God to go and be with my family. Together we would hold hands in prayer giving our wordly emotions to God, and be strong for my Aunt and cousins. My father, Philip Speer, pasted away in August 2009, followed by my "Uncle Frankie". Aunt Esther and my Mom's brother. I could not allow doubt to enter my soul, I love my family, and always shared life's moments with them. Through it all, I know we will all be reunited again. They are all my angels, and my Aunt was there, here and now. Aunt Esther sowed together what I was taught throughout the above family history.She loved freely, witnessing to others, opening another door to heaven. My greatest moments, pertained to her giving me something special. The day of Nannie's ceremony, when everyone was leaving, she called to me, and looked deep into my eye's. "I have something very special to give you, as she handed me Nannie's Bible, I was speechless, and wondered "why me?". I hold it close to my heart and tenderly read the special verses highlighted. Then again, as God was preparing her husband "Uncle Henry's" heavenly home; we were alone when she said "honey, I have something special to give you" and it was her Bible. Such an enduring spirit she placed upon my life. Scriptures, they both believed in, now my turn to learn from God's word. I will forever miss you, my sweet Aunt. You are now free, with God's. Peace be with You - All is Well. To my family, you are in my heart and prayer's for comfort and peace to always be present. Remember, our values and the foundation of our faith. I thank God that I am blessed with a "family" that takes time out to remember each other, always. God Bless each of you.

Dear Esther Sister in Christ, There aren't enough words I can write and express how I am saddend by your passing. Esther you and your Mom and your dearest Sister my best friend Angela of almost fifty years, have always been such an inspiration to me and our family. Your strong faith in the Lord, you passed on to me and others. I remember our visits and having Tea and long talks about family's past and present,Esther you told me about Henry planting a small Lilac tree for you,as I looked out,and pointed to the tree and said; Esther look , it has a first bloom and it is shaped like a Cross,with a smile and a tear in your eye you know that was a message from Henry and God, to let you know, that he was watching over you. Ester you and all your family have always made us feel that we are part of your family,and for that we will always be grateful. Just four days before you went into the Hospital you gave me this beautiful glass picture as an appreciation gift , and it says "A Joy we shared, The Gift of friendchips treasured its values grows greater with every year that passes" I am so glad that you have shared your life with me. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend. I never dreamed that it would be our last visit to gather, because two weeks later the Lord took you by the hand and said Sister you have sufferd long enough and God released you from all your pain. And now you are sitting on the Throne next to God wearing the Crown that you so well deserve. Ester, so rest in peace you will always be in our hearts and sadly miss you. And dont worry about your little sister and my daerest friend Angela, and your Children,I will never fill your Shoes, but I am here if they need me. Dear Cindy and family,Sue and family and Tim May God grant all of you piece in your hearts, knowing that you're Mom and Grandma is with the Lord and united with her husband Henry, your Dad and "Opa." Love and sadly missed Renate and Scott Donaldson.

Dear Cousins and 2nd Cousin, May God be with each of you as go help each other move forward. Your Mom/Grammie sweet spirit will always remain with us forever. (Sue and Todd's children) stayed at Grammie's home every day while we went to visit her at the hospital. We celebrated Kaylie's birthday, did homework together, and and a few walks around the neighborhood. Collin (Cindy and Eric's son) would stop by and join his cousin's at Grammie's home. I am grateful for my Cousin Debbie, and very close family friends, who prepared meals, transportation and met each need encountered. I know you will all miss her gentle hugs and soft kisses, as I do as well. Erica, I know you were away at college, but know in your heart your Grammie admired your ambitions. Aunt Esther is proud of each of you, as individual's, with your own dreams. Each one of you has a very special place in my heart, as we all share in the loss of one of God's children, your Mom/Grammie. Rememeber God's word tell's us we will all be reunited in heaven. Peace be with each of you. God Bless. Love, Cousin Terrie.
