Esther loved this poem and requested it be read at her passing: I am home in heaven dear ones; Oh, so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty in this everlasting light. All the pain and grief is over. Every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, safely home in heaven at last. Grieve a while if you must, then let your grief be comforted by trust. It is only for a time that we must part, so bless the memories within your heart. There will be a graveside service at Roselawn on December 13, at 2 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Esther's memory to Pueblo Christian Center or Sangre De Cristo Hospice. Online condolences can be made at www.roselawnpueblo.org.
