Not sure what to say?

So very sorry to hear about Estelle. She was good friends with my parents, The Rev. Francis and Marian Cooper.

So very sorry to hear this news I now live on the northern neck of va prayers & Love to you all sorry for your loss mike this is sandy cason troop 72 and christ church

I went to St. Anne's Belfield with Mrs. Echols' daughters. May I say that they were among the nicest girls in the school, always polite and respectful to everyone, and always with a smile. Whenever I saw Mrs. Echols, she was beautiful and gracious. I miss her generation dearly, and I know that she has left an un-fillable hole in her family's lives and in society in general. "They just don't make 'em like they used to." My heartfelt condolences to her family.

My condolences go out to the Family. Your Mother was always a pleasure to see each week while I worked. Your Mom and Dad will always have a place in my heart. I still hold onto short poems that your Dad would write and your Mom sometimes delivered. What a gift for me to have known 2 very special people. Praying for you all.

We had the opportunity to see Estelle at Farmington several years back. We were neighbors in Floredon. She looked grand
