TO THE FAMILY OF ESTELLE: I knew Estelle as a good friend of my mother, Eva Casmier Dolliole. She used to stop by our house and visit with my mother many times. She talked about her daughter who was deceased and her grandchildren. She was a very lovely lady. My mother died in the mid-70's so I had not seen her in a long time. Rest in Peace, Estelle.
