Also surviving: two beloved sisters: Jeanne Ashley and Sylvia Baskin, two brother-in-laws, Lloyd Baskin and Allan Ashley, grandchildren Tzachi, Eran, and Omri plus four great-grandchildren.

The funeral service will be held at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, 11 a.m., this Thursday, April 26th. Family and friends of Esther are invited as well as friends of the immediate family.

Hi Bonnie & Kenny & Pini & Jackie,

I am going to miss your wonderful kind sweet Mom.
She was always so nice to me every time I would come over to your house to play.

My deepest condolences to everyone, and sincere wishes of strength to you all on this very difficult day.

I am so glad that we got to spend time with her last year.
