I am Dorothy Meyers’ daughter Janet. I hope you know how much I loved your mom. She and mom were such best friends for so many years. I think that they are again right now. Having just lost mom, I know the bittersweet loss of an aging parent. You will love her always, and know that some of her will never go away. My prayers are for your strength during this really difficult time.
I used to go to the church at Pasco. I’m Jane Papiese’s sister. I enjoyed knowing Esther and I just wanted to send my thoughts to the family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Family of Esther,
Esther was a beautiful, loving example of Christ to all she met…..she will always hold a special spot in my heart. She opened her home for me to lead Bible studies and we were all able to learn and grow together. What a kind and special spirit she was. I also have fond memories of her and Frank giving me communion while I was in the hospital and being one of the first to offer me love and comfort when my husband passed away two years ago.
She will be missed by all who know her and especially by Frank, her life’s partner.
It has been a blessing to have known her and I rejoice that she is with her Father in Heaven….what an awesome new life to look forward to.
Hang on to the memories….and let them provide you with comfort and peace.
Love,
Marijke Cook
My best friend is Jennifer, Esther’s granddaughter. I had the pleasure of knowing Esther for the past fourteen years. A very kind and welcoming woman. I am a lucky person to have been able to know her and have her granddaughter in my life.
My prayers are with the Daugherty family.
Love,
Danielle
My grandma was the greatest person I knew. She raised me when I moved here and I wouldnt be who I am today if it wasnt for her..Im glad that my son Zaiden had a chance to meet her. He’s her first great grandson and she loved him very much & I could tell he loved her. I miss her very much. I love you grandma.
