I am saddened by this news. Estelle was a bit of everything to everybody arround her. A symbol of love and joy, of what life really ought to be - loving and caring for others more than herself, she would learn how to cook fufu corn and African vegitables and dance "Asiko" to animate her african friends. But her greatest gift was an infectious smile and affcetion for others. I remember one day she said to me "we have met before" I did not know what this meant then, but I now know that we will meet again for she was and remains an angel to all those she touched!!!!!!


Every single time I saw Estelle I came away with a smile on my face and I'll always remember her lovely face and huge beautiful grin not to mention that distinctive, tinkly laugh. Such a genuine, kind, generous, warm and funny spirit. Estelle had such a high moral code for herself but was so forgiving of the faults of those around her. She absolutely taught us how life should be lived, with energy, passion, ideals, truth, love and warmth. She touched everyone she met and I feel we can be true to her memory by reaching out to those around us that need help and trying to be just that bit kinder and more open. Like everyone mourning her, I just wish she had reserved some of that boundless kindness for herself. She was a special, shiny girl.
