  3. Saddened for your loss. She and Jim were very good neighbors near Brantford
    and when I would haul some hay to them they would always invite me into their
    home for coffee and cookies plus the added benefit of a lot of good conversation.
    Such a nice lady with a pleasant way about her. Gary

  4. I grew up with Esther in the big city of Hamberg and we attended high school together in Fessenden. Have had many nice lunches in recent years in Carrington — Esther, Helen Rask, Shirley Kittelson and myself. Always fun to recall memories, laugh and have a wonderful lunch together. Will miss that as we are all scattered to new homes now.

    My condolences to Esther’s family, Pearl and Sonny who of course I grew up with also.
