I thought of you kindly and with pause yesterday. My dear Estella. That lovely silver wrap necklace with your brilliant smile. Your belief in me, our long conversations.  Your never-ending support, so rare, so special and with such love.

[to Harry] Besides, the ones that love us never really leave us. You can always find them… [puts hand over Harry's heart] in here.

So sorry to hear that Estella Cole has moved beyond her time on Earth. She was my art teacher for my junior year at NGHS. She taught me several art forms, flat clay pottery making and lost wax cast jewelry making. She was loved, admired and respected by her students. She left a positive mark on so many of us. I'll take comfort in my memories of her.
Thank you Ms Cole for everything.

Mrs. Cole was my forever favorite teacher in my life. She taught art at Northglenn HS. She mentored me in various mediums including batik, the dye and fiber art. I am an award winning artist in acrylic painting, basket weaving and crochet (fiber arts.)  I  will never forget her, I  just loved her. Sorry to hear of her passing.

Jim,
Fernando Hermanny told me about Estella’s death. I was devastated. For some reason I’ve thought about you a lot in the last few months. I will send my best thoughts to her, wherever she is. I send my condolences to you, helping that you overcome the immense loss in the time needed.
Regards,
Ana Clara Moura, from Brazil

Jim, somehow I knew I had to look up for Estella... and I just found out she has moved to a different dimension.  I hope you  are doing well  and send you my sympathy.  Nice memories of you guys.   Kind regards from Brazil. Fernando

Jim, I'm at a loss. I loved her so, she was funny, intelligent, patient, kind,  she had vision and imagination, she was sensitive and most of all my dear friend. We spent hours on the phone, teas, lunch. She gave me strength, she got me.  
 She was amazing and I will miss her every single day and never forgive myself for not squeezing her as hard as she squeezed me the last time I saw her. I love you Estella..you never robbed amyones joy , you called it  as you saw it and you never let me down. I will miss you every day and giggle with you  forever

Dear Jim,

I'm so very sorry to hear about Estella.  I know it must be very hard for you and I'm praying for God's comfort and help for you.  Estella was such a wonderful mentor and friend.  She helped me with things throughout my career.  She was one of my first friends I met after I started working for the City of Greeley in 1999 and I always felt a strong connection with her.  I always loved getting to see her and work with her and just get a hug from her.  She was a beautiful friend and I love her dearly.  I wish I could have heard her sing.  I will miss her so much.  This job won't be the same without her.  May God's everlasting arms surround you and hold you tight.

Love,
Betsy

Jim.
I just saw the notice from CPI.  I am so very sorry for your loss. 
And the loss to Preservation.  Although I enjoyed working with the two of you on your landscape, believe me when I say that Estella always terrified me when I had to deal with her at Historic Boulder.  I can also say she was always fair dealing with this novice in the field. What an incredibly strong, determined and amazing lady. She never let the likes of Betty Chronic slow her down!  Bravo! Bravo!

Jim,
I happened upon the listing for Estella and was stunned.  I'd just recently seen the honor presentation video for her many years of outstanding work for historic architecture in Colorado.   Estella had so much to offer and she was a beautiful lady.  Things I will always remember about her:  her sense of style, which was apparent in her home and in her personal presentation; her love of music;  her wry sense of humor; her distinctive (sexy) speaking voice; her humility.  I remember coaching her in quartets years ago.  She loved to sing and could easily convince herself that she wasn't "up to par" - which was her perfectionism showing itself.  She was full of talent.  The two of you were a great team for many years and I know you will miss her terribly.  Please accept our condolences.  We are praying for God's comfort as you adjust to life without Estella.  Vicki and Bob Uhr
