In memory of Esther Leafloor – from the EION/PomeGran family
Elena Movtchan
I was heartbroken to hear about Esther’s passing.
I remember when I first started working at EION, Esther showed me such kindness and warmth. She sent me, along with Kalai, a box of supplies to help set up the office. It was a small gesture, but it meant so much and made me feel welcomed and supported from the beginning.
I also remember her smile and excitement during EION’s 25th anniversary celebration—especially how she reacted when opening our gift.
Esther had a way of bringing comfort, laughter, and light wherever she went.
My deepest condolences to Bob, their children, and everyone who loved her.

I can only describe her as a force of nature. We all knew when she was in the room and had to be on our best behaviour!
Her infectious laugh and never-ending support will be sorely missed by us all.
RIP dear Esther.

It was a true pleasure getting to know and working with Esther. She was an amazing person, and I don’t think we would be here today without all that she brought to PomeGran.
She will be truly missed.

I only met Esther a few times, but every time I did, she greeted me with a warm hug that you could genuinely feel. Talking to her always felt easy, like I could speak from the heart and she’d just get it.
She used to tell me I’m courageous, and she meant it every time. But honestly, she was the courageous one. One of the most caring people I’ve ever met.
I truly hope her beautiful soul rests in peace. I know she left behind warmth, joy, and love in the hearts of everyone who knew her.
My deepest condolences to Kalai, her family, and everyone close to her.

I’m really heartbroken to hear about Esther passing away. She was such an incredible person, and I’ve known her for the last 15 years – she always treated me like her own son.
She’d force me to quit bad habits just like family would, and I remember how she’d pull my ears in that pleasant way to get things done.
What I loved most was her happy, smiling vibe that could light up any room.
She’ll be missed a ton. With a sad heart, sending our deepest condolences to her family and to Kalai – I know this hits him hard after all those years working together.

The first thing that comes to my mind is Esther’s booming laughter and the cheer she brought into the office.
It was a fitting coincidence that her final visit to EION was for Kalai’s birthday celebration in April. She was her usual cheerful self.
Our family will miss Esther dearly.
Let’s all cherish her memories and pray that Bob and their children find strength to get through this.
A huge loss for Kalai and all of us at PomeGran.

I’m lost for words.
Esther was more than a coworker and a friend — she was a pillar of the company.
From day one, she gave me so much knowledge, and I had the joy of working, traveling, and laughing with her.
She was intelligent, classy, bubbly, poised — an amazing wife, a loving grandmother, and Kalai’s right-hand partner.
This is undeniably a sad day, and she will forever live in our hearts and memories.
My heartfelt condolences to Kalai, her family, and the PomeGran teams.
Selah.
