San Jose High Alumni lost a dear friend ESTHER BERNAL she attended every Big Bone Party and her personality, her smile and her generosity of spirit lit up the ballroom at the Radisson every year. She only registered one complaint, "Where is all the blue and gold?"
Esther went to Lincoln, but she hung around with all Bulldogs. You would never know she went to Lincoln. Esther was also a big fight fan, she loved boxing at HP. Esther was also a huge "Raider Fan". Esther loved everybody, and everybody loved Esther. She will be missed by all her family and friends, and by all of us in the San Jose High Alumni Association.
"Rest in Peace our dear friend"
