I was so sorry to learn of Esther’s death. I graduated from Britannia High School with Esther and remember her as a very friendly girl and involved in everything. I remember her accident – we were all so shocked and saddened. I imagine her life has not been very easy since then. I send my sympathy to Melva, her family and friends. Sincerely, Maureen Byrnell

My sympathy to Esther’s family. I attended Britania High School along with Esther and we graduated the same year. I had not heard of her accident so long ago and am truly sorry I did not. She truly was a lovely person. May she rest in peace.
Sincerely
Shirley Young (nee Post)

I remember Esther from High School, I was in class 14 and she was in class 15. I didn’t know her that well, but do remember her smiling face. I am sorry to hear of her struggle in life and that she now has some peace.
My thoughts and sympathy to her family.

I was saddened to learn of Esther’s death. Esther and I graduated from Britannia High School in the same year. Although we weren’t the most intimate of friends I found her to be a very vivacious and cheerful schoolmate. After graduating I wound up logging for Alaska Pine & Cellulose at Beaver Cove on Vancouver Island in 1952. Imagine my surprise to find Esther employed there too as part of the kitchen staff. I later heard about her horrific accident. Very sad. My condolences and best wishes to the family.
Sincerely,
Ray Skytte

Dearest Melva & Family,
I am forwarding our condolences on behalf of Eila Male’s family, being her eldest daughter. Eila spoke of your family so much of you & Ester..on countless times. When she used to go to your house in Corners to visit after our family had moved away, so long ago. I still have memories of Ester, having once driven her on Handy Dart.
As you know..Eila passed away last year, sadly missed…as Ester will be also…
Love, Victoria & family

My sister, Vicky, just let me know of Esther’s passing. Esther & our mother were friends. Although it is some years since I last visted with Esther, I especially remember when as a child my mom and grandmother would take me along on visits to her home in Webster’s Corner. I have always felt a great deal of compassion for Esther, given the challenges she was confronted with as a young woman. My momther would always let me know when they had a visit. I also remember Esther’s mother as a very strong person, who was always inviting, engaging, and warm when we visited all those years ago. My condolences to the family.
