  3. That was Esther in a nutshell. Always able to bring a smile to your face, committed to service with a beautiful way of expressing herself.

  6. You don’t have to agree with everyone in this business. But you can like and get along with almost all of them.

    Ester was a person who embodied the best of what the GA should be. And If I had to choose a single word to describe her it would be gracefully.

    She will be missed an the hallways will seem a little dimmer without her.

  9. Beautiful, just beautiful!

    I’m going to miss going to office and talking to her about various issues.

  10. Excellent. What a brave person. She stood strongly for workers’ rights. What courage and determination, when she came to session a few weeks ago to vote for the SB 1229 override.

    I’m sorry to say that in the critical issue of workers’ rights, she was in stark contrast to almost all of her union-friendly colleagues from across the aisle, who cowered under the threat of a few super-wealthy people’s millions of dollars.

  11. Can’t think of a better tribute. We should all take up her refrain. Thanks Rich and God bless, Rep. Golar. You are deeply missed.

  22. I was glad to see the Chair did not enforce the decorum rule this time. A memorable moment to be sure.

  23. She did a lot of these. I really hope someone is searching for them all and will share them. I miss her already.
