I met Estella many years ago when I started working at Sunbeam Corp. As the "new kid", she immediately befriended me. We became close friends but, unfortunately, life happens and we lost touch with one another. I was sad to read of her passing. She was much too young and Michelle and Danielle you are much too young to lose your mom. I will pray for her eternal peace and for the peace and comfort of all those she leaves behind.
