Estela has always been a mother to me. She has cheered me on when others criticized, she encouraged me when I made a mistake and she always praised my parenting, cooking, cleaning, teaching......just about everything. She made me feel competent.
I sent her a card every Mother's Day because she was a mother to me. She was dynamic and noble and selfless and strong. She was virtuous. She was a woman of integrity. I always loved conversations with her because she was so insightful and such an amazing example of strength and perseverance. I respected her advice because she was a woman worthy of emulating on every level.
I will miss her every day.
