“#Relatives mourn Brooklyn woman killed by backhoe<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The home health aide who was killed by a backhoe driver in Brooklyn Friday was remembered as \u201cgenerous and loving\u201d by her distraught loved ones on Sunday. <\/p>\n

Heartbreaking video obtained by The Post showed a yellow construction vehicle striking 61-year-old Estelle Davis with its shovel before running her over and dragging her along the corner of New Lots and Van Sinderen Avenues in East New York.<\/p>\n

Two of Davis\u2019s godchildren came by her East New York home to light four candles on the stoop Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the hardest pill to swallow. I don\u2019t get it. She was a pastor. She loved God,\u201d Tiffany Bowen, 30 told the Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe lived like an angel, and when she died I know she died as an angel. I know she gained her wings,\u201d Davis\u2019 emotional goddaughter said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis had got to be a dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bowen\u2019s brother, Wayne Mendoza, 43, fondly remembered his godmother\u2019s caring and generous nature. <\/p>\n

\u201cShe was so beautiful. You meet people in life and they do evil stuff. This woman was so beautiful. She worked as a home health aid. She helped people. And then some idiot comes and hits her and runs her over,\u201d Mendoza said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe didn\u2019t have to die like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Davis was married to a man named Cleveland and had no children of her own, but was always doting on others, her godchildren said. <\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time I gave birth to each of my kids, she was there. There was no holiday, not Easter, not Christmas, not Thanksgiving when she wasn\u2019t there. She didn\u2019t care what holiday, but she was there with us,\u201d Bowen said. <\/p>\n

\u201cAfter Christmas she would always say, \u2018Don\u2019t take down your Christmas tree. I\u2019m gong to bring you more gifts,’\u201d the heartbroken goddaughter added.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe would come to our house and give us money, and nobody even asked her for money. She just gave it out. She was just so nice,\u201d Mendoza recalled.<\/p>\n

Investigators are still looking into the horrific incident, and no arrests have been made, police said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t understand how somebody could just take her from us, just like it\u2019s nothing. How do you take somebody like this? How do you do it when she was just a good person?\u201d Bowen demanded.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery day of her life that I knew her she always told me, \u2018I love you.\u2019 Those were her main words \u2014 \u2018I love you.\u2019\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
