Esther Lageman

I had the privilege of being Esther’s roommate when we traveled to Italy in 2009. Both of us were widows so we came together by chance! We were very compatible and enjoyed spending time together.She was the same age as my Mother, however she was very independent and capable to participate in every tour that we were challenged with. During that period I learned so much about St. Henry parish, as she and her late husband had been very active there. She was a grand woman who spoke her mind presented herself with class and dignity. I think I did get reprimanded once for enjoying a little too much wine! I truly respected her and always thought of her as a special friend! Who knows where we are able to share good times with great people unless we open ourselves to new opportunities! May she be received into heaven by her loving Father and be blessed with eternal life. Lovingly,
Angela Vasseur
