My condolences to Estella's family. I just found out from a mutual friend of ours of her passing and am so sickened by it all. We all wondered why we hadn't heard from her and I figured it might have been my politics. I first met Estella when I worked at Bradley Hills Elementary School in Bethesda, Maryland. Estella and I used to go to antique and thrift stores together and would often get together with our gang of friends from Bradley Hills to eat out together. Often times I would bring Estella home to share with my family because we had so much fun being around each other and my family enjoyed her company as well. She had such a contagious laughter and sense of humor and was very quick with her with and intelligence. Maybe that's why all her boys are so smart!
Our lives are diminished by Estella's passing and will never be the same without her in our lives. The one consolation I have is that when you pray for someone who has passed on to the next realm of existence there is a mingling of station. They can intercede for you and you can intercede for them. Although, you are unaware of them, they are aware of you. We are like the pepper in the garden. You're aware of the pepper, but the pepper isn't aware of you.

I was really sad to learn of Estella's death. I worked with her at Bradley Hills Elementary School in Bethesda, MD. She was always so kind, loving, and thoughtful. Estella was a lot of fun to be with and talk with. We all loved her. Her smile and warmth lives on in my heart.

I knew Ms. Young when she lived in Brentwood, MO and her sons were in school. I spent a lot of time with Bruce. I always felt welcome in her home. It’s been over 50 years, but still have warm memories of those times.

She said I was loved when I couldn't feel a thing. She said I was strong when I thought I was weak. And when I felt like I didn't belong, she told me I was hers! I am forever grateful for everything Estelle took the time to give to me. I pray that God blesses me with the same wisdom, strength, compassion, and love to be the exact kind of friend and mentor to those who pass my way.
An awesome mentor is Hard to Find ...Difficult to part with.... and IMPOSSIBLE to Forget!!!
To The Entire Family: Be comforted by your memories💕
