Esther was a dear and loyal friend to my mother, Theyl Richards for many years. I was so impressed when I last saw her at my mom's memorial service in 2003, and wish I could have attended hers as well. I was a student at UConn also when she worked there, and would occasionally see her at that time. However, my most treasured memory is that of being at the Fabian's home when she and her husband, Alex, and my parents and I were all seeing the Beatles on television for the first time. She was one of the kindest women I have ever met, and I certainly will remember her fondly. My sympathies to her family on your loss, but, like my mom, you should celebrate her life as a treasured memory as I will also.
