we are so sorry for your loss. Grandma Verburg was what I called her from the first day I met her. she didn't care if I was blood related or not she just took me under her wing and loved me just the same. During her sick time she always wanted to know how every one else was doing. she never complained just took it day by day. She is a very special lady with a heart of gold. We loved her very much and she will truly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Verburgs.

We are so sorry for your loss. Esther was like a grandma to me. when trevor married into the family she just took us all under her wing like we were just as well her family also. She was always so thoughtful. During her illnes she was always concerned about every one else and not herself. As long as everyone else was ok she was. She has a heart of gold and we will miss her very much. She will be truly missed.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Esther was one special lady. I'll always remember her unique and interesting way of telling stories. I also loved her decorated cakes. She made a beautiful cake for mom and dad's 40th anniversary. It was very lovely and yummy. She will be remembered with great fondness.
