Natalie Marx: Our Purple Princess

Words by Natalie at Ester's funeral, quoting a poem by Hannah Szenes:

Estie. Sister. Beautiful. Wise. Loyal Estie. Our Purple Princess.

There are stars whose radiance is visible on earth though they have long been extinct.
There are people whose brilliance continues to light the world even though they are no longer among the living.
These lights are particularly bright when the night is dark.
They light the way for mankind.

I love you Estie.
