Dearest Elsa...

How I miss you. How I miss texting you...I cannot believe it has been three years already. I always think of you and know you are with me at times. In the back of my head I think what would Elsa do? ;) I know your family and children miss you terribly but, you left such a legacy.
Our love to them and all whom you touched with your soul and love.
Eddie and Nilsa

My dearest Elsa, my work roommate, my commadre.  You were a rockstar at everything you did! Your nails lit up a room! For many years we roomed together for our meetings! You were the best and accepted all of me. Latinas for life 💪🏼Words cannot describe what I am feeling. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I love and miss you Amiga. 

With sincere Sympathy Ari and Maxie.

My condolences to Ari and Maxy. My heart is with you. I love you two with all my heart. My beautiful cousin Elsa. My heart was broken when I heard the news of her passing. She fought hard. She was strong and courageous. I wanted God to heal her more than anything. But God had a different plan. I am so happy that she are no longer in pain. Her body was weak but her spirit remained strong. I will cherish the beautiful memories we shared throughout the years. She raised two amazing children and they loved her dearly. Elsa loved to gather all the cousins when she visited Indio California. She loved to laugh and made us all laugh with her. Elsa’s laughter and love filled our hearts. She embraced each one of her cousins and made us all feel like we were her favorite. She was one of a kind and I loved her so much. I will forever miss my beautiful cool cousin. I know you’ll be waiting for me. I’ll see you soon my precious cousin. RIP

Elsa had such a positive impact on so many people’s lives. She was ALWAYS there for her two children and raised them to be fine adults with God at the center of their lives. She was ALWAYS there for her sister Sally and she was ALWAYS there for her parents as they approached the end of their journey on earth. She was ALWAYS there for her professional colleagues and her friends, always bringing laughter and excitement to any gathering. She was ALWAYS there for my wife, Martha. Helping her enjoy the good times and helping her get through the tough times. She was a TRUE friend. And, Elsa was there for me thirty-seven years ago when she invited me to Martha’s 21st birthday party. Little did I know that Elsa’s matchmaking magic would positively impact me for the rest of my life. Thank you Elsa - your work here is done, but the love and the happiness you shared with so many will live FOREVER.
Rest in Peace dear friend. 

My sincerest condolences go out to your family. Elsa was our neighbor for many, many years and we got to know her and her children very well. I have so many memories of Elsa walking around the neighborhood going to meet her friends down the street, always raking her yard and taking the best care of her landscape (she took so much pride in her home). She was a great listener and always held so much faith. 💜🙏🏼. My nephew grew up with Ari, they played basketball together and were great friends. We saw her children grow up and one thing I will never forget is how much she loved her babies. She lived for her children. My heart goes out to Ari and Maxi, we are sending you the utmost love. May your dear mother, Elsa, Rest In Peace. 

What a Wonderful addition to our Family!!! Elsa was always the life of the Party!!! So many Beautiful Memories!!! California, on  Corporate Trip. Florida,  Disney with the Kids!!!, and countless Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter along with her Family. We worked out Together,   I helped Decorate her Home and did more than my fair share of Christmas Trees!!! She was such a Joy to be around, always Positive and had a Great Work Ethic!!! Darling this is not good bye, because you will live in our Mind forever!!!

Elsa was always the light when she entered the room, the life of the party.   She quickly became a good friend, when we met.  It was my privilege and honor to call her friend.  I always looked forward to seeing her.  She will be deeply missed.  I’m grateful she is no longer in pain.  She is whole and healthy in her glorified body.   Thank you for showing me your strength and giving me your love and friendship.   Look for me my friend, when I finally make it HOME.  I will keep Maxy and Ari in my prayers.  Forever your sister in Christ.   I love you.   

Our most sincere condolences.  May Elsa rest in eternal peace.  

I'm heartbroken Elsa. But know that I've never forgotten you. Especially, our Pan American University days. All the studying we did at your mom's. The gowns Jones & Jones loaned you, as an employee, so we could dress the part in Shakespeare's play Hamlet. We killed it! Our improvisational class professor loved it. You're the greatest human being I ever met. Always smiling, laughing louder than anyone I know. You're beautiful, compassionate and loving. Too bad life took us on different paths. Pero, jamas te olvide amiga. And I'm forever proud of you and your life's feats. Now, LOL with God my friend and enjoy your new chapter as an angel. From, as you called me, "La Vilma!" Love and prayers forever. Amen💞🙏

I met Elsa during Ari's and my son's basketball ball days   Nikki rowe (warriors)  Elsa was an awesome inspiration to the team she would go way out to do what she could to get these kids what they needed  she would work at the snack bar do fund raisers travel fund raisers get sponsors and the most rewarding part was she was thier cheerleader you could hear her voice way across the gym .( Get them ,!!!!!)  She was amazing we love you Elsa ,. I still hear your voice cheering the boys  on ❤️.

Our beautiful, incredible, strong, dynamic Elsita, how much you will be missed. Never a time, you did not shine your light on anyone you met. Your fortitude and wisdom was always demonstrated in your actions and words. You have always been a loyal, true, authentic friend. You will leave a void in my heart Hermana, but have left thousands of priceless memories I will forever reflect on. Now, take rest in our Father’s arms and shine your beautiful light upon us all.
