So sorry to hear of Miss Koester passing. What a wonderful sweet lady. I used to help clean her house. She always treated us as a family member. She would tell us jokes and talked to us all the time. She will truly be missed. Sending prayers to the Koester family.
My prayers of condolence for the death of your mother. She and Dr. Koester were always kind, thoughtful and enjoyable during the years we were neighbors and friends at Trinity Lutheran Church in LaMarque.
