Natalie, Gail, Sarah, Pricilla, Emily, Joe, and all of Essie's family. On behalf of our family, we extend our deepest condolences with the passing of beloved Esther. She was my lifelong best friend, although we did not get to visit often at all, I always enjoyed our long telephone conversations, and will never forget all the good times we shared. All who ever met Essie loved her. She still has many friends here in Harlan County. God bless you and give you comfort in the days ahead. Rest in peace my dear friend, I love you.
