Estelle Rita Hoffman

I am so proud to have you as my darling Grand-mama. You treated me like a princess. You taught me to be diplomatic, to have courage and live my life passionately. You will always be with me in my heart. I miss you dearly. Rest peacefully darling.

To Grandpa Arthur, my Father, Auntie Camille, Uncle Greg and Uncle Paul:

I am so sorry that you have been through so much sadness. It is comforting to know that you have all come together to help support each other during such...

Dear Arthur, Camille Dennis Greg and Paul
Although I have'nt met you all, I have fond recollections of Aunt Estelle's visit to OZ so long ago. Warm and vibrant, it was so nice meeting my Mother's sister from so far away. She felt like family immediately. May you all be comforted for your loss and grow to emmulate her love of life...in that way she will be with you forever,
Dvora Moss, Sydney Australia

(Proverbs 31:29)
May her family, who loved her find comfort in the many accomplishments and fond memories she left behind.

Her Loving Sister

Dearest Arthur, Dennis, Greg & Camille,
There are no bonds more bnding than one between sisters. I will miss you and our chats at all times when we could not sleep and were both up on AOL. We lived so far away but did see each other quite often and talked together so frequently that it was as if we were living next to each other. I miss you so much already.

I remember fondly the hospitality I once received from Estelle and Arthur and Camille. It made San Francisco feel like home when I was there. My heart goes out to Arthur, Camille and all the family.

I am very sad that Estelle has passed away. She was a much loved niece and good friend.
My thoughts are with Arthur and Camille and the rest of the family.

Hi...this is Kim Gotlieb from Sydney Australia - Ruth and Gerry's son. It is always sad to hear of the passing of one of the family. Estelle was my 2nd cousin. I managed to keep in touch vicariously through my friendship with Camille. I remember having a chat with Estelle when I visted San Francisco briefly in 2005. I wish all the family long life...and send special love to you all at this time. I will be thinking of you tomorrow especially during the funeral....I would have loved to be there...

Arthur and Family
I can remember meeting my Aunt Estelle for the first time when I was about 10 when she, Arthur and Camille came to New Zealand for a holiday. As Camille and I were similar in age we had a lot in common. That first meeting cemented our relationship and I have continued to feel a closeness to my aunt and uncle and cousins. Every time I went to the States I made sure I could see them. It wasn’t often enough as I was always made to feel welcome as we spent time...

Dear Arthur, Camille, Dennis, and Greg, and family ---
I will miss Estelle's feisty and no-nonsense nature, her humor, and the Kiwi accent she never quite lost. My thoughts are with you all.
Love, Rudy Schneider
