Thank you so much to everyone who sent in a card, donated to the Cooper-Foreman Heirloom and Native Gardens, and participated in our online birthday party for Ms. Esther. She was so surprised and thrilled so many people took the time to wish her well on her special day. She received cards, treats, gifts, balloons, and more.
A very special thank you to the staff at The Healthcare Resort of Kansas City for their help in making our virtual birthday party happen and their love and support of our dear Esther. A very special thank you to Cartesha Carson, C’08, who is a nurse at The Healthcare Resort. She went above and beyond to make Esther’s 103rd a memorable celebration. Esther wishes to thank everyone who wished her a happy 103rd, she feels so blessed and grateful. Please enjoy these photos from her big day.

Thank you to the Foundation staff for all the advanced planning and the many hours altogether that went into creating a wonderful 103rd birthday party for Esther. During this difficult time with COVID lockdown she has been unable to leave her room in the nursing home, so friends couldn’t reach her. You did a beautiful job of making her day special and she still talks about it!! Thank you so much!!! You are forever in my heart!!!
