Fountain Hill, AR Tuesday, November 30, 2021 Estella, when I received the call that you were gone I was lost for words. I began to think of the song “I am free” yes you are free no more pain, no more problems you are free. It has been a blessing to have you in our lives. I will take your memories and hold them close to my heart. You will definitely be missed. Love you always your oldest niece Joy(Shug)Audrey Harris
