I remember Auntie Ester as someone whose love knew no bounds. She saw my family as her own, and in many ways, she was a grandmother to my sister and me. Rest in peace, Auntie Ester, and thank you for making our family a part of yours.

Rod and I have so many wonderful memories of Ester. She is a very sweet and caring person. Ester and Frank are the life of the party with their dancing prowess. You will be missed, but another angel will be watching over us. May eternal rest be with you. Our condolences to Frank and the whole family. 🙏

I remember meeting Auntie Ester when she brought Alyssa and Peter to play with my kids. Along with the kids she brought the flat Afghani bread for us!! When I think of Auntie Ester, I think of family, love and food for all. She embraced our family into her loving one. Rest in peace Auntie Ester. -- Vade, Kaavya, Sandip, Dipali

I was 9 years old when I first met mom-Ester. We just moved to Fremont. We went to Winchells Donuts and you'd think I'd be excited for yummy donuts, but was not. Soon as we walked in we were greeted by this (to my 9-year old eyes) latin looking lady with sort of a bouffant hairdo and had such a happy-bubbly personality! (Ester) I never forgot that day as I thought to myself, I want to be just as happy & bubbly as her when I grow up! As many visits to Winchells my mom made, soon enough my mom and Ester had become good friends. Ester always brightened my day with her big smile! At that time I didn't really know her name and I just called her the "Happy Days lady". Who would've ever thought I'd be so blessed to marry her son Robert 16 years later!!!!!

Always so loving and welcoming. Beautiful memories we will cherish forever. You are in our hearts an angel watching over her loved ones. Rest in peace

I remember a fond memory when my mom worked for Social Services and she donated her time at an elementary school in the western addition of S.F.. It was there I learned how to be kind and respectfully understand others. As a young boy it was the beginning of shaping me of who I am as a person today.

We're so sorry for the families loss of Auntie Ester, she will be truly missed. Our mom Auntie Dely, remembers meeting a 13yr old Ester in Church at 8yrs old & they became great friends. We have so many wonderful memories of Auntie & the entire Garcia Family. Rest in peace Auntie Ester.💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐 Love, The Washington Family

You will be forever missed, but we know you will always be looking over us

I remember Auntie Ester as FUN, generous, wonderful sense of humor, always social and the Life of the Party. She was an Ahhh-mazing dancer!! Always tearing up the Dance Floor. Oh, Happy Memories watching her & Uncle Frank dance at my wedding! Best of all, she always made time for family first — commuting to be w/ the grandkids. Miss you mucho. Heaven gained an Angel. Keep Dancing, Auntie! 😊💖🌺

What an amazing wife, mother and grandmother. We were lucky to know you. You are always in our hearts forever. Love, Alyssa & Gina
