My heartfelt condolence to the Family & Circle of Friends of Ms. Estella Jordan. I twice had the distinct pleasure and honor of meeting her in real time.  (The last time was at the celebration of her 70th Birthday in Memphis, TN.)  During these two times, her positively contagious, engaging, quiet, and distinctively unique disposition exuded a peaceful aura to all present at the gatherings. She played well and gracefully with high distinction her elderly roles for the younger siblings to witness in action. Careful observers present, myself fortunately included, witnessed that she was true to her words and promises with verifiable actions devoid of deceptions. Praying that all who knew her would emulate these fine dimensions of her Spiritual, well-lived Life legacy (Galatians 5: 22-23). May her gentle Soul continue resting and fully secured in The Perfect Peace of her Creator God until Jesus Christ returns to resurrect her unto Himself in a perfectly new body  (Acts 1:9-11).

I know you were a faithful Christian and you loved God, your Family,  and your friends. You were the best big sister. I will always cherish my memories of you. You are now absent from the body and present with the Lord. You are now walking among Angels. May the Lord be with you in peace! Rest until the trumpet sounds.

Frieda and Family, 
Our heartfelt sympathy and deepest condolences to you and your family for your loss.  We will keep you and the family in our prayers and pray that all your precious memories of Estella will give you some peace and comfort.

Rest in heavenly peace. The Bakers from Memphis Tennessee

Excerpt from the poem: ESTELLA 
You were named in honor of Grandmother,
The oldest of your sisters and brothers. 
A lot of responsibilities placed on you,
And you were just a child too.
I remember the good times  that we shared, 
As you nurtured siblings because you cared.
It was so  many years ago it seems,
When we talked and laughed about our dreams. 
You were  always wiser beyond your years,
Confronting challenges without fears.
Later, you married and became a wife,
Moving to California to start your new life.
You became a Mother with a heart of gold, 
Your son Amankwa, closely you did hold.
Mentoring and grooming him along the way, 
The knowledge taught he maintains today. 
You had intriguing jobs of all sorts,
And later, you were hired by the money fort.
Federal Reserve is where you spent your time,
Eyes watching every dollar, nickel, penny and dime. 
Amalia and Elijah are branches from your tree,
Both will flourish from the teachings at their grandmother's knee.
You are a benefactor of God's mercy and grace, 
He has shielded and protected you, wherever the place.
You pray to him from day to day, 
Asking for his guidance to lead the way. 
Your mirror, mirror on the wall,
Shows a reflection of you - faithful, strong,  kind and beautiful, as I recall!

A blessed Saint.
A beautiful soul.
A brilliant mind.

My cousin Estella was a very special and wonderful person and undoubtedly unique. I’ve never met anyone with a memory that demonstrated the power of recall as well as she did.  I’m saddened by her loss and saddened for my cousin Amankwa. I believe, however, as stated in Psalm 73:26, ”My flesh and my heart shall waste away, But Elohim is the rock of my heart And my portion forever.“‭‭Tehillim 73‬:‭26‬ ‭TS2009‬‬, and Estella is in peace and rest.

I am so sorry for your loss! My the peace of God the surpasses all understanding guard your hearts and minds as you go through this very difficult time.

Sorry for your loss. My prayer g I es out to you and your family. I am here if you need me. 
Travis
