Estalene was so very good to me. She took great care of my daughter when she was young and the boys loved going over to the house in N Lawrence. I am so sorry for the loss her family is feeling.
Estalene was such sweet loving lady that will be greatly missed. I am so thankful to have had her come in to my life. I pray that her family may be comforted knowing she has gone to be with her husband.
