Estella Cepeda Obituary
Remember, 0 most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that any one who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of Virgins, my Mother. To thee I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. 0 Mother of the Word Incarnate! Despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

To Brenda and Familia,
Words cannot express the lost of a Love One. I'm so Very Sorry. GrandMom was a very Special Lady; I remember we went together to a beach (that you and Papa Vic took us). At some point GrandMom and I were alone and she expressed to me how important and proud she was of you, how much she Loved you and how much you meant to her. ❤
She talk about the past and that she would never leave you.
When I moved to Florida, it was very hard for me, not having my parents with me. But when I met GrandMom, she reminded me of my Mom. She will forevermore hold a place in my Heart❤. She was kind, generous and giving. She's in a better place now with our LORD looking down at us. No more suffering. She didn't leave us. She's in our Heart.❤

To my best friend and favorite cousin, Elang:
I miss you! Kept thinking the phone will ring and it's you. Who am I going to exchange jokes with now? Some day I will see you again. You just took that trip before I do. I will love you always and never forget you.

Elang,
Missing you everyday is so sad for me but knowing that you are at peace is my consolation.
What leaves me now, the memories of all the good times we had together when we were home and here.
You are my cousin and best friend, I trusted you so much that I can tell you anything. I've nobody like you anymore.
You are gone from my sight but never in my mind, you are loved and remembered and always in my heart forever!

Grandma,
You were the most supportive, loving person I have ever met. I appreciate all that you have done for me, you have taught me the greatest life lessons. I admire the way you cared for people and your actions never needed recognition or acknowledgement. I miss you so much - not a day goes by without me wishing we could eat ice cream or cereal and watch cartoons together again.

Grandma,
Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. You were truly amazing and always made me feel like I was apart of your family with love and generosity. You were a very special person to me; from the very beginning when I met you I wanted you to like me and not only did you like me but you loved me.
I love and miss you Grandma,

It feels just like yesterday you were here caring for me. I cannot believe you have left us and gone to a better place. You were the most important person in my life. I think about you everyday, but I know you're watching over me and I will do my best to make you proud.
Love your grandson,

Brenda and family,
A few words to sincerely and humbly describe those beautiful days and moments we've spend with your mom. We were always looking forward to week-ends and stop overs just to spend time with her. We enjoyed her company dearly.
Your mom is a wonderful lady, a sincere smile and lots of wisdom. I missed our conversations and laughs. I missed our baking 101 lessons. We missed and love her.
As you continue to mourn, pls know we are here for you and family.
Sending our love and prayers for comfort and strength.
We love you

My Dear Cousin Ellang,
I'm still having a hard time sorting this out. I still cant believe that you really left us. I may be a man, but I still find myself crying when i'm alone and start thinking of youuuu. Tan Pepe always taught us when we were growing up that we respect you all even though your last name was Cepeda, he made sure we understood that we were cousins through Nan Da. I looked up to you all. My memories of you is that you were always so quiet, kind and loving. I remembered you always were taking care of kids. God has taken you to give you the everlasting Life with Him in Paradise. I will always miss you. Im so honored that I got to spend some time with you during your last 3 weeks here on earth. Good Bye until God brings us together again in the next Life. I love you Ellang.

Auntie Elang,
I've always enjoyed watching you scurry about in the unique way you walk. You were always available for others in need. I apppreciate all the family stories and cooking lessons you shared with me during the few times I've sat with you. I'm sure you will be one of God's favorite angels! Please watch over all of us and I'm sure you are enjoying being a special and Grand Angel! I love you!

Ellang,
I am lost for words about you leaving us. I may be a man, but I did my part of crying especially when I'm alone. I start thinking back of the year's growing up at the farm. Tan Pepe always made sure that we respected you and treat you as a true cousin even if you were a Cepeda. That's always been my feeling about you. You were such a kind, loving and honest person. You worked hard in your life and you were always taking care of children. God must really awarded you a beautiful new Life with Him in Paradise where no one and nothing ever dies. I was so grateful that Ling brought me to Tucson to spend some time with you before you left us. I still can't believe that you're gone. I will never forget you and I'll always pray for you. Live your new life my sister and remember us in your prayers. Adios

My Dear sister in law, Ellang,
You brought a lot of joy into our lives. Whenever my wife was having surgery or I was ill; you were always there for us. From What I heard from my wife, you were like a mother to a lot of kids in the family; but in my heart, you really were just like a mother to a lot of us. You were very loving and caring. When you came to our house, I never really wanted you to go back home. You left me and Doris with a big heart ache and I feel like a part of us is missing. Brenda and Victor and their children were always so nice to share you with us while you were here. Thank you for the great memories you left behind. You were always so kind to me and Doris and I will really miss your visits. I can honestly say you made a big change in our lives by not being here; however, I'd proudly say that I was very honored to have had you as my dear sister-in-law. We love you forever.

Auntie Elan,
Thank you for your love, affection, and many gifts. You were always standing by to help me how ever you can. You loved and cared for me like your own child. Sorry, for not being able to make it to your bedside before you passed, but at least we spoke before you were born into eternal life. I hope you enjoyed your services we had for you. Now, you can see us and guide us from above. Enjoy until we actually meet again. It would be as if no time had passed. Hopefully, you will be present to greet me whenever my time comes to pass into eternal life. For now, we will be in touch in thoughts and prayers.
Pues Adios Auntie Elan Estaki,

I miss you so much my second mother who raised me and showed me the right to live life. You have helped me through bad times and being there to also help me with my child and grandchildren. I still wake up everyday thinking about you and knowing you're in a better place. I miss all my phone calls that I get from you to just check on me. I still cry everyday with the pain that I lost my mother so soon but my pain will heal in time. Thank you so much for being there for me through good times, bad times and happy times. I love you Nina!!!! Lucciano will look at your picture and call you nani, he knew you as nani and will never forget you because we show him your picture almost everyday to remind him not to ever forget you. You are a loving mother to all of us and we will miss you. Love you and rest in peace my mother!!! Your niece Melissa Manibusan

Aloha My Dearest Nina,
I just viewed the entire photo gallery and my heart is aching ever so deeply as all of the pictures clearly show the love and joy that you always shared with Brenda, Vic, A.J., Tori, Lil Vic, and Rocco, and everyone else in the world.
Faye and I became your second daughters after we became close friends with Brenda way back in 1994 when we moved to Vegas from Hawaii. I can still remember Brenda inviting us to Christmas dinner that year because we didn't really know anyone there. You and Brenda instantly welcomed us with the island aloha spirit and we just became part of your ohana.
My fondest memories of you entail your wonderful cooking (especially your Chamorro pork and spicy cucumbers), your warm and loving spirit, and most of all, your dedication to Brenda and your grandchildren, and all of your ohana. I have always thought Brenda was especially lucky and blessed to have a mother like you who consistently showed her how very much you loved her and made her and her entire family, your priority always. Brenda being my best friend, I know you have always loved her with all of your heart and soul and there is nothing in this world that you wouldn't do for her or your grandkids.
Having you in my life was a wonderful blessing that I will be forever grateful for and I will always keep all of your kindness, love, and gentleness in my heart. I will miss you dearly Nina.
I love you nina and aloha oe' until we meet again.
With Love & Aloha,

Dear Estella,
Your uncle and I are so glad that we got to talk to you and heard your voice before you left us. We had planned on coming to Tucson to visit you, but some how God did not allow us; however we made it to your beautiful services to see you one last
time and I was able to kiss you good bye.
I love you so much and I will never forget you. You were such a kind hearted person and exercised Love towards everyone. You will live in my heart and mind forever. Good Bye Estella and thank you for letting me be a part of your life even for a short while.

Dearest Gma Stella,
I will always be grateful for the love and care you have shown to me and my sisters growing up. You made me feel welcomed in your home on Saipan and always treated me like a daughter. I remember the red multi-patterned dress you made for me. It was one of my favorite outfits and I always wanted to wear it so Bren and I could be twins at school. Since reuniting with my sister, you have been wonderful to my family too. You took care of Eric and my boys as I was recovering from my surgery and when I was well enough, you taught me how to make empanada and even hemmed my pants! :) We will miss you so much but are grateful for the times we shared together. We will never forget your big heart and soft voice. Rest now Gma Stella. We love you!
Bren, No words can take away the pain you feel but I wish they at least consule you. Gma Stella has always treated me as a daughter with an open heart and without judgment. I will forever be grateful for her compassion and love she has shown me and my family. Her beautiful soul has departed and she shall rest peacefully in heaven. May the sweet memories and love of Gma Stella give you strength and courage to see out the difficult times ahead. Never forget I am here for you sister. I love you.

My Dearest sister Ellang
You were more than a sister to me. You took care of me when I was little and spoiled me with pretty clothes and gave me a lot of care. When I became a mother, you took care of my children as if they were your very own and raised and spoiled them too. The list can go on about all the children that you took care of and that's the very reason they all call you Nina. You left us behind saddened but you'll never be forgotten my dearest sister. I will miss driving long distances and not seeing you sitting in your favorite spot. I will frequent my visits to your resting place and talk to you. You can hear me from above and maybe help guide me to help our children here. I love you sister and we shall see each other again in Heaven some day.

We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Your mom was like my sister, and we will miss her dearly. She was a beautiful woman with a beautiful heart. Take solace that your mother is in Paradise resting and probably chatting with your Auntie Mame. Again, my condolences, and God bless you and your family.
One more thing, a memorial mass will be taking place here locally (San Jose, Ca) this coming Sunday for your mom.

G'ma, Words cannot even begin to express the overwhelming feeling of loss we feel. However, we know you are resting in the loving arms of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I do not have a single bad memory of you, not even the time you got upset for my disorganized plastic bags and you sat for hours reorganizing them. I will always cherish the memories we created together. So it is with mixed emotions that we say goodbye to you for now. I am sad for all of us left behind, but I am comforted knowing my son has an amazing person with him. Please take my son under your wing and love him the only way you know how, which is with your entire heart. We will love and miss you always and forever.

I have been pondering for the past couple days about what to write, maybe even avoiding it. It pains me to make an entry for it merely means that I need to accept the reality and say goodbye. I find solace that you no longer suffer and that you are in a better place, but my heart yearns for one last conversation, one last embrace. I miss you dearly, but do know that your legacy will forever live in the lessons that you have taught, the advice that you have given, and most especially, in our hearts. You will never be forgotten and will forever be loved!!! Gatbo yan Guaiyayon hao na Nana.

Nina you have touched my life in a very special way. When my own mom passed, you were there Nina in your own soft spoken, comforting way. Your home was always open for me and any of Brennie's friends. You always made us feel welcome, whether it was preparing food for us to eat, (ribs n chix kilian?? yummy) or watching your grand kids just so Brennie and I can go out and have some fun. You always made me feel like I was part of your family. Brennie is like a sister to me. Although we lost connection after they moved to Arizona, Florida and everywhere else, I'm so happy to be reconnected with her again. The good thing about Brennie and I though, even if we are apart for a long time, it's as if we haven't parted and start right where we left off. As I said, Brennie is like my sister. We will miss you Nina, but I know that you will be a beautiful angel watching over your family and loved ones. Rest in peace Nina.

Nina,
We're glad you are not suffering anymore. Whenever you called, we felt nothing but joy talking and catching up with you. You were truly one of my (Natasha's) favorite role models to look up to. I hope that one day I could leave a legacy of kindness and beauty that you have on earth. You given us the courage to find our own happiness and we couldn't repay you enough. You will be surely missed, but never forgotten. We love you, Nina.

grateful to you for being such a large part of our life. I love you and miss you! It will never be the same without you, but I promise you I will continue take care of your daughter and your grandchildren.

The short period of time that I spent with Ellang seemed like a lifetime for me. I realized how humble of a woman she was and her welcoming personality with that soft voice were so infectious. She is now at peace, free from her illnesses and sufferings and is now the happiest. Brenda, know that your mom raised up a fine child who blossomed into a finer woman. She was a strong woman who sacrificed so that you may find happiness. I pray that you find comfort in your heart during this most difficult moment but your mother will forever be with you and all those she loved. Rejoice her new life and each time that you find sadness just touch your heart, she's in there with you. Eternal rest grant unto Estella O Lord, and may the perpetual light shine upon her, may she rest in peace, may her soul and the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace, Amen.

Those we hold closest to our hearts never truly leave us; They live in the kindness they have shared and the love they have brought into our lives. Ninan Ellang was just such a person to me ... I will never forget her and may she rest in peace. May you always find comfort in knowing that your Mom was one of the most amazing, yet simple woman I have ever known. She always knew how to make me laugh (and smile) with her silly stories and jokes. I will miss her forever! In the days ahead, may you be comforted in the love and memories you had with her because I know that to your Mom, you are her World and her everything.
