I’m still not sure how to put into words what it feels like to lose my best friend—my soul sister.

For the past two or three years, we were inseparable. I’m not exaggerating when I say we talked or texted every single day. We shared everything—big things, small things, silly things, hard things. I was her emergency contact, but more than that, I was her person. She was Auntie Estey to my daughter, and my family embraced her like one of our own.

Everywhere I go, everything I hear or see—it brings back memories. Every song, every movie, every drive, every plate of food—it all has a piece of us in it. We lived so much life together in such a short time. Slumber parties, vacations, cuddles on the couch, making dinners, going paddle boarding, movies, shopping, getting nails done, doing art, laughing until we couldn’t breathe, just loving each other fiercely. We even went on drives just to be together, just to feel free. We never judged each other or ever held back. You called me the sister you never had. You were my biggest cheerleader and I was yours. 

I’ll never forget that smile—that beautiful, infectious smile that could light up any room. And I’ll never forget how proud she was of her children. She talked about them with such love and admiration. You could hear how much she cared in every word.

I was her sidekick. I helped her set daily and goals. We were going to conquer the world together. Help others in times of need. I always had my phone on for her—day or night—because she knew she could call me anytime, about anything. I only wish she had called. I wish I could have helped more.

But I will carry her with me, always. In the songs we loved, in the movies we watched, in the quiet moments and the loud ones too. She left her mark on me, on all of us. And I will never, ever forget her.

Rest easy, my soul sister. You were deeply loved, and you always will be. 

My condolences to Esther's family. I first met Esther when [  I met Esther in White chapel ward in London, we quickly developed a good friendship, I was among the last to see Esther before she and Arty moved back to the State. I remember the night before she left Her flat in covent garden in London.  We remain connected while she was in the State. My last word to Esther about three month ago was. Your children are your pride , you are a blessed woman.] and we would often [ she always talked about her children, she love them unconditionally ].I will always remember Esther love for life, her  creativity, her paintings and laughter. Rest in peace my friend, you will be missed forever ❤️
I met Esther when she and Arty moved into the Bonneville towers in 2013.  She was pregnant with Ezra and gave me a  hug the first time I met her and I immediately fell in love with her. Her warmth and personality was infectious and we became fast friends.  She was beautiful inside and out. She loved her children,  her pride and joy.  She is an amazing mother who was creative and loved throwing birthday parties for her kids.  I can’t express the amount of sadness I felt when I heard the news.  I know in my heart her memory will live forever because she has made an impact on all the people she has met throughout her life. She embraced all people with her bright smile.  My condolences to her family and children. We love you forever Esther.

Esther made everything fun. She had a magnetic smile and a great laugh.
dear family of Esther's....I am incredibly saddened to hear of your loss.  I hired sweet Esther the minute I met her. she was so alluring, beautiful, endearing and talented.  I won't forget that she seemed absolutely perfect for our team.  It was only a week or two later she felt she had to move on and didn't think she could stay with us.  I wanted her to know right then and there that all that mattered to me was her happiness.  I didn't want her to do anything but what would make her feel good and happy.  I also expressed that I appreciated her courage to let me know she would be leaving and that she was so sorry to leave so quickly.  I wanted to build her up...she was so remarkable and I know she was not feeling like it was the time for her to be at the job ...and I understood that.  I so wanted to let her know it was ok and that we understood and I wanted and did wish her the very best.  she was so so so so so lovely and genuine.  we missed her when she left.  As I am sure you do in every way possible.  Please know that I am so very sorry.  Warmly, Anne Marie Barton 

Dear family, 

We are very sorry to hear of this heartbreaking news. 

In the short time we met in Spain, Ester was always generous and giving. Generous in smiles, love and light. She always had a kind word for everyone and would always reach out to make others feel seen and loved.

I'm sorry to hear of her premature passing and I pray that you can all feel peace and strength in this hard times. 

With love,

It’s hard to put into words what Esther meant to me and to all of us who had the privilege of growing up by her side. Esther and her brothers were more than childhood friends — they were family. Every summer spent together in Marbella was filled with laughter, warmth, and unforgettable memories, and Esther was always at the heart of it all.

She had the kindest soul, a distinctive laugh that still echoes in my mind, and the most radiant smile that could brighten any room. Her nurturing nature, her joy, and the way she made everyone feel seen and loved will never be forgotten.

Though life took us in different directions and distance grew in the later years, the love and bond we shared never faded. Esther will always be a part of my family — a permanent piece of my happiest memories.

Gone far too soon, but forever in our hearts. Rest in peace, beautiful Esther.

I love you❤️
