Mireia Vinas: a couple of words

A couple of words for Ester,
although I am speechless.
A couple of happy words,
although it's a sad event.
Nevertheless, I cannot, I do not want to,
even for a second, to remember Ester in a sad way;
On the contrary, she should be remembered and cherished
as someone who brought love to many people.
For you, Ester, a couple of words: REST in PEACE.

Francis (Tupac): Thank You, Ester

Ester,

God bless you.
And God always with you.
Rest in peace.
Oh my Ester, no more Ester.

No more visits to the park.
Now, I'm alone.
I'll miss you forever.
Thank you, Ester.

Francis

LDSG: 11 October 2006

Ester volunteered for the London Detainee Support Group from August 2004 and started to work for them in November 2005. Ester supported groups of volunteers who were sent to visit people who had been detained by the home office, as well as visiting clients herself.

On Wednesday 11-10-06 the LDSG held a gathering of memories of Ester. There was a mix of LDSG staff, volunteers and former clients. Many of the current clients being detained by the home office sent messages to be read to the group.

It was a touching evening and, as they are received, the messages will be posted here.
