Esther Sell September 23, 2011
2 Corinthians 4:18 We do not fix our gaze on what is seen but on what is unseen. What is seen is transitory; what is unseen lasts forever. I did not have the pleasure of knowing Esther Sell. I know her daughter, Kara. Given what I know about Kara, and
that her mother was her best friend, I'm sure she was a wise, caring, loving, woman with a great sense of humor, who will be greatly missed by many. For all who loved her so deeply, my sincerest condolences.

I played golf with Esther for many years at Saskatoon, Briarwood and Indian Trails. She was a friendly and caring woman, and I enjoyed her friendship very much. I will miss her. I am so sorry for your loss.
