Thankyou Debbie for your kind words, for my brother and I also remembered them great times growing up taking those trips to your families home. I know my Mom felt really close and connected to your Mom, another beautiful person. Aunt Esther became the “Go To Person” when it came to advice on family for my Mom. Now together, they are up in Heaven together keeping everyone in line and looking out for us all too. You and yours are in our thoughs as well.

I was asked the other night,”What was her favorite color?” Mom’s favorite color would be as bountiful as flower fields in bloom. Although her favorite flowers were Orchids and The Cherry Blossoms. As colorful as you can imagine, we also have a nice blend of personalities and traits that are instilled in our family. Mom will be remembered both for her strong will so full of pride for her heritage and family and for her warm gentle ways that got her through life’s good times and bad. Rest In Peace…We Love You
