Estelle will always be remembered for her beautiful spirit and life of love and caring. The many contributions she made to the happiness and wellbeing of others remain, and she is thought of with much love and gratitude. Although Estelle is dearly missed by her family, there is joy in the assurance that she knew the Lord and put her trust in Him. We'll see her again.

Both Estelle and Lisa have brought so much love, encouragement and compassion to my life for so many years. There is great joy in celebrating Estelle's life, lived in the presence and service of God, and to know that her legacy of faith and love continues in Lisa. I treasure them both and give thanks for the face of God I've known in them. God's peace to Lisa and family in this moment of separation.

She was a very interesting woman. I really enjoyed our chats and hearing about her life. She loved God. She loved her children and worried about them. I'm truly sorry to hear of her passing. Our last conversation in mid December lasted over an hour, and it was probably the best conversation we have had.
