This was just posted to the Estes Facebook page. I'm reposting it here for those that don't do FB.

With very heavy hearts, we are sharing sad news today. Christine Swartz, our beloved Estes customer service specialist for over 26 years, passed away the morning of October 8th. She was loved dearly by all who worked with her and will be greatly missed. We have so many customers that knew Christine by first name; when other team members filled in for her, customers would request to talk to Christine! Please keep her family, friends and co-workers in your thoughts.
