Janet Cokeliss: sorrow beyond words

I first met Ester when she was 9 years old and was impressed by her composure, her serenity. Our paths crossed only about 6 times between then and the last time I saw her, when she was 18, but each time I was struck by her sensitivity and compassion. She talked of feeling she didn’t help others enough — but this was because her heart was so large, she had so much to give. Her untimely passing is a loss to all who knew her and to the world.
