IN LOVING MEMORY OF ESTER EVA
1989-2017

Ester Eva was a beautiful daughter, a loving sister, and a wife and mother. Throughout her life, she worked as a model and enjoyed many creative hobbies, especially drawing, knitting and cooking with her young children.

In January 2017, Ester Eva was diagnosed with stage IV stomach cancer at the age of 28. Ester Eva didn't let cancer take away her capacity for love; in fact it only made her stronger. She started planning her wedding to Spencer, her life partner and the father of her two children. She also began sharing her story on her personal YouTube channel to inspire and motivate others. With courage and a positive spirit, she was determined to help other people living with cancer.

When Ester Eva's health took a turn for the worse, she moved up her wedding date. On May 30, 2017, she and Spencer were married in the hospital where she was receiving treatment. On June 2nd, Ester Eva passed away from advanced stomach cancer. Their wedding is a powerful symbol of their love that will be treasured forever. Her memory lives on through her family, her children and all those she touched by sharing her story.
