Estelle was my ‘ Momma’ that’s what I called her and she called me her daughter. She had the kindest heart and I will miss her so much but will always carry her memory with me. And someday we will be reunited in heaven. I know in my heart that is where she is.
Aunt Estelle was such a special lady. When I became pregnant with Savannah, she was so happy for me. Aunt Estelle never had children of her own, but she was a mother to all who came in contact with her. She will be greatly missed!
Years and distance never change the heart. This family is my heart. When we lose one, I feel like a piece of my heart goes with them. Thank you Aunt ‘Buttons’ from that little twelve year old, now a grateful adult. Our love and sympathy to the rest of the family and anyone who was lucky enough to know Estelle. Your loving niece, Michelle
