    Sending condolences at this time and may God comfort you all as well at this time. Each day will be different and easier as well. I had the pleasure of meeting Ms Esther from my ex boyfriend back in the early 1990s when we would see Esther there greeting us with a nice smile and taking our order of famous nachos. As time passed, I would go every once in awhile and Esther would always greet me and get my order. She will be greatly missed. One of my favorite waitresses too.

    Sending condolences to families of Perez, Capetillo, and Trevino. May God comfort you all at this time. Esther will be missed dearly by patrons who would see her at vermillion. Always a cheerful and helpful waitress and server. I met her thru my ex boyfriend in early 1990s when we both would frequent vermillion for our nachos and a beverage.

    What a beautiful picture of Ester.
    She was a wonderful, hardworking and caring lady. She taught me a lot when I worked at the Vermillion and I use her work ethic to this day. She will be missed and my condolences to the entire family. May God give you comfort and peace.
