    I just wanted to convey my condolences to Judy and Jo-Anne. I went to St Francis School with them and they lived right acoss the street from us for many years. As I got older I got to know Esther a little better. We would have chats now and then. She was very nice. I had not seen her for many years as I moved out of the neighbourhood. But my thoughts go out to the family as I read the obit today.
