Mom was a God loving woman who lived for her kids, and later in life she lived for her grandchildren as well. Her cancer battle started when we found out mom only had a 3% chance of surviving because her cancer was late in the stages and had rare blood clots that made her case extremely dangerous. She went to MD Anderson and we all hoped we would see her again and not only did she survive she thrived like none of us ever imagined and she decided her 2nd life was for Jehovah. She had already lived for herself and it got her nowhere she wanted to be. She decided that she was going to live Jehovahs' way, so that's what she did. Soon after she got approved for door to door service she would go and it gave her a glow to her of happiness. It would make her feel enthralled with Jehovah's spirit, and it made her feel worthy. Spending time with her kids was another thing she always loved. Anytime we would have a family get together she was always surrounded by love. She was always the star of the show. Anyone that you talk to about her has a story about how she cared about her service and her love for Jehovah and his people. Or she made you laugh telling you stories about her crazy children, but it was obvious that she was a woman who was filled with love and that was loved by many. Her heart with was filled with so much love and determination that even though she was in the throes of cancer and chemo she was still helping her 5 adult children in one way or another, it didn't stop her even when she wanted to get her citizenship. We can never forget the day she actually graduated and the look of accomplishment, and the pride for herself that she passed it. These are the stories that tell you who Esther Thomas was. She is survived by, her 5 children Sabrina Lewis, Tracy Thomas, Jasmine Thomas, Jamie Thomas, and James Thomas JR AND 13 grandchildren. She is also survived by her family members Lidia Davis, Gloria Montellano, Sylvia Ford, Luis Montellano, Laco Montellano, David Montellano, Rain Davis, Bryant Berryman, Brandi Johnson, Philip Berryman, Marissa Varela, David Davis.
