Esther was one of several matriarchs on our busy street in Dominion City who looked out for the welfare of the many kids growing up there. She was always laughing and made us feel comfortable. I believe that Esther was the last of the Moms left from our "street gang". Our sincere condolences to the family-she will be missed but not forgotten.
