My love and thoughts to Ricky and whanau. I worked with Esther for several years on disability related work and she was an awesome champion for Maori disability mahi. A beautiful woman, inside and out. I only saw her a few weeks ago and she told me all out her current work with the church and she was glowing with happiness. So saddened to hear this, rest in peace Esther and tell David Tamatea we send out love when you see him. Moe mai ra, Channa
