Condolences to Barry, Coreena, Roxanne and to all other family members and friends. I remember as a kid and young adult being amazed with Esther's talent to make beautiful cakes and her Cherry Cheesecake was incredible. Back in 1977 when I turned 16 there was one thing I really wanted for my birthday and it was a rather strange request given my age, but I wanted a Grover and Esther bought me one. I still have him all these years later. I also remember Brian and Ester and their 3 kids cycling as a family. When the kids were younger, they would get dropped off at Grandma Keeley's house so that Brian and Esther could get their grocery shopping done. Esther is now back with the love of her life and she and Brian will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary together in Heaven. Rest In Peace. - Posted by: Debbie Schmidt (Keeley) (Sister-In-Law) on: May 16, 2023
