Care taker
I was a care taker for Ester for 10 years. She was a blessing of my life at work. I can still hear her calling for me! She was my friend and I am so bless to have taking care of her for so long!
Sincere sympathy in your loss. I was a classmate of Roy VanDyke’s and heard he and Johanna talk about her
daughters. May God be with each of you in the months ahead without her.
Condolence
Sorry for your loss. Moore family
