I knew Esther many years from St. Rose parish and her family traded with our grocery store for years. I know she was too old to make the steps at the church since it reopened, she wanted to see the interior very bad she said. God Rest her soul.
Peggy, Bette and family, my sincere condolences on the passing of your aunt. I will keep you in my prayers.
