Paradise beckons for
Our Lady's Worker |

|
Esther Montes |
Our Lady's Workshop Volunteer |
April 15, 1951 - March 29, 2021 R.I.P. |
|
Longtime devotee, Esther Montes, 69, |
|
of Flushing, N.Y. was called to her eternal rest Monday morning at 5 a.m. The cause of death was COVID-19.
We extend our condolences and prayers to Esther's three daughters and loved ones, and
all her friends, especially at St Michael's World Apostolate and Our Lady of the
Roses Shrine.
Although Esther was not at the workshop since last year, she was a regular
contributor for many years. She was artistically-inclined and would decorate the
workshop for Christmas, Easter, New York Meetings, Live Broadcasts and the May
Crowning Luncheon.
In fact, she would create her own impressive floral displays from construction
paper that added a nice and attractive personal touch.
She was fantastic with
the organizing and labeling of the Pink Books, often working long hours. And you
could always count on her to bring some home-baked treats and goodies for the
Lay Order of St. Michael and other volunteers.
Interestingly, Esther
shared two things in common with President Michael Mangan: a birthday and a
twin. Sadly, Esther's twin brother was a runaway as a young teen never to be
seen or heard from again. It was said he landed in Texas and led a normal life,
but it was never confirmed. We are sure that Esther has now reached a peaceful
resolution to what was a painful ordeal.
Esther was recently on the holy grounds for the March
7th Sunday Holy Hour for Pope and clergy. We know that she will be another
Heavenly Helper for Our Lady's Mission here below and, of course, will always
remember her family and friends.
Please include her in your
Rosaries and prayers. |
