I have known Estelle since I was three years old. She loved to tell the story. I also worked on and off for Estelle since my high school years. I loved her,she was a part of my family. She loved my mother, respected her, and admired her. Mama felt the same way. I will miss her, and her stories. She is resting now and at peace! To Darlene and all of Estelles family and friends, remember the good times. We have all been a part of those times with Estelle. God Bless you all.

To the family and friends of Estelle, my sympathy and prayers go out to you. I got to know Estelle during the time her mom was sick and there at the cleaners. She was always willing to help out the people who came in and asked her a question. She has been in the neighborhood for many years and just knowing she won't be there any longer will be sad. I pray that God will bless all those who loved and cared for her in a special way. Estelle we will miss you my friend....
