Dearest Family: To say we are going to miss “Estelle” is an understatement! She was such a beautiful friend, constantly the same, always encouraging even when she was “down”. Faithful to her God, her family & her friends..I feel your loss. But I also rejoice with you because I know today she is rejoicing with Raymond and so many others. And that fills that sad place with so much joy as I know it does yours. I love you all and I know God is watching over you tenderly. You are in my prayers.
