James and Jo Anne, I am so sorry to hear of Estelle's passing. Your parents are part of my fond memories of working in the old Perry Building in downtown Hopewell, for so many years. Your Mom was a very special lady, and she used to spoil me by bringing that wonderful chopped liver she used to make for holidays to me! Please know that she will be missed and remembered for the super, feisty lady she was. My heart and prayers are with you now.
