We mourn the loss of Esther, a thoughtful, loving and caring person who mirrored those same traits of her parents, siblings and family. Sending strength and love from New England during these difficult times.
Love,

Esther was always cheerful and ready to laugh, her love of dogs first attracted us to each other. She and Kelsey and Buddy were great together, we all had so much fun in their pool. Esther will not be forgotten at the gym or our BAC lunches where her shining smile and winning personality were greatly appreciated. We send love to her extended family and many friends at this difficult time.
Al. Anita, Clair, Sam, Darlene:
I’m stunned and saddened by the news of Esther’s passing. I’m so very sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you at this time of grief. I have fond memories of having a chance to know Esther. She was an exceptional person—quiet, meek, gentle, understanding, and had a beautiful smile. Our siblings carry a piece of our hearts in theirs. She will be so sorely missed.
Respectfully,
Rich Marotto
Esther’s friends at the BAC for Women’s gym where she exercised for many years, are saddened by her sudden passing. Her smiling face and upbeat attitude gave us so much courage to face our own challenges. We will miss her at our monthly luncheons which she regularly attended …always with a smile, never dejected or sad and often with a dog training story to share for our amusement. Esther will be sorely missed. Sincere condolences to her family.
To the family of Esther,
Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
To the family,
I wish to extend my deepest condolences on your loss of Esther. She & I were FB friends, brought together by our mutual love of our dogs, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. Loved her pictures of Kelsey and am sure they are happily reunited at the Rainbow Bridge.
May she Rest in Peace.
