Aunty Esther was my maternal grandmother’s youngest sister. My first memories of her are in Georgetown always wearing the latest styles and fashions. She was the pinnacle of beauty and elegance. In New York, Aunty Esther’s style continued even through her busy days at the hospital. She was dedicated and hard working . The family will miss her. R.I.P.
My heart is with you all. I pray her memory brings you comfort and peace of mind. Deepest sympathy.
One thing about my Aunt is she knew how to dress. She was always so sweet and nice. I’m sending love to my fam Mike and Sandra during this time. I love y’all ! From Nika & the fam

From the first I met you I just fell in love with your spirit. I miss setting with you and talking with you and of course laughing with you. Every time you and I sat together, you remind me of you younger years and how you look ” beautiful ” of course. I remember you telling me about how fancy you always dressed. Every time I came to the house I looked forward to talking with you. I will never forget you Ma. You will always have a special place in my heart.
To my family, Mike, Sandy, and JJ
My God be with you. I love you all…Caleb

I have such fond memories of my beloved, sweet , generous, soft spoken and gentle Aunty Esther, youngest sister of my father, Hermon Gomes who pre-deceased her. She is now resting in peace with her mother and father and 5 siblings, Aunt Mimi Parkinson, Edmund Macquarie, Hermon Gomes, George Gomes and Henry Williams. As a young girl, I always looked forward to her frequent visits to our home in McDoom, Guyana. She would always tease me about her favorite memory of me fussing with my clothes in my chest of drawers and asking her, ” Aunty Esther, how de ole man?” In other words, “How is your father?” And she would crack up with her signature infectious laugh which me and my brother Paul used to love to imitate. When we came to New York to live, I used to look forward to her visits with my young cousin Mike, whom I fondly remember playing games with and hanging out on Uncle Mac’s stoop in Crown Heights. Aunt Esther was hard working and fiercely independent. She was utterly devoted to Mike and was so proud of him and his family. I’m so glad she got to spend her twilight years in the loving embrace of Mike, Sondra and her beloved granddaughter. Rest in Peace dear Aunty ????. You have indeed fought a good fight. Love always. Jenny, Neil and family.
If God didn’t want us to imagine what heaven will be like, He wouldn’t have told us as much as He has. Our parting is not the end of our relationship only an interruption of our love one now experiencing the joy of Christ. To look into God’s eyes will be to see what we’ve always longed to see- the Creator who made us. Ms. Carrington is/was the most wonderful person you could ever meet. And my son-in-love is a great example that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. And I’m so proud of Mike, my baby Sandra and my granddaughter Janacia as to how you loved and cared for her. So know it’s so long for now and one day we will meet her again in that magnificent reunion.
Love Always,
Mom Delores
I love you very much and thank you for always remembering me. I have such great memories of you that will never leave me and i will pass on the love that you have always given me to other children.
Love you, Elizabeth N.
Our deepest condolences to Michael and your family. I knew my cousin Esther all my life until she left Guyana as she lived next door to me at 27 John Street, Georgetown, Guyana. I was in my late twenties when she left. I am told by my older siblings that she piggybacked me on the streets of Guyana going home when I was a tired toddler. I could still remember her laughter growing up in John street. Whenever she visited us in Canada, she always insisted on taking pictures of us. That’s one way she showed her love to her family. I have very fond memories Esther my cousin. Our greatest desire is for Almighty God our Creator to receive her spirit through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
Its impossible to have competed with Aunty Ester’s aura of kindness. As a young boy in the early 70’s, we would head down to Brooklyn every summer from Montreal by car to visit our family there and stay with my Uncle Carls’. Once Aunty Ester got wind of our visit(s) she would always make sure she made came to see us (with Mikey in tow of course). It was impressive that she never missed a visit and even if the weather was bad or our stay was extra short. Her disposition impacted us all and as we got older and became adults she was always there for us even at a distance. I’m very thankful to have made strong bonds with Aunty Ester and believe that a piece of her was gifted to each of us. Rest in perpetual peace Aunty Ester. I’ve always missed you and you remain within my heart.

I was so saddened to hear of Auntie Esther’s passing. Her soft-spoken demeanor belied a woman who faced the many challenges of the metropolis that is New York City.
Born the same year as my father Desmond, I feel it only fitting to share with you a quote from one of his favorite poets Kahlil Gibran: “When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.”
May God’s peace be with you.
With love, Laura
