My Tia elva was always so sweet whenever I’d see her. Didn’t get to spend as much time with her as I liked but I will always remember her and have a place for her in my heart. My condolences to Amy, Danny and Yasmin and all of our family. Fly high Tia 🪽🕊️💞

Our condolences to la Familia Rivas, no doubt Elva (Comadra) will be missed. She always shared the gifts that our Lord gave her. One of many, was the 'gift' of caregiving. She was a heathcare provider, always caring for the ill, elderly and providing them with her company. Comadrita, en paz decanses.

Dios gracias por darme a mi hermana Elva Rivas. Compartimos mucho tiempo juntas, muchos recuerdos. Se ha ido atulado nos ha quedado triste. Hermana miles abrasos asta el cielo como te decía. Te quiero Te quiero

I love & miss you. When I got my first apartment you gave me a beautiful plant 🪴 & some furniture. The plant did not survive… but the couch is still in good hands.
I have a confession to make, when I was little & we lived in the apartment in Bellflower I would put pieces of lettuce on the “Last Supper” frame that was hanging in the kitchen because I used to think that they were hungry. 🫣 I have memories of playing barbies with Yasmín there & of Grandpa Felipe always watching soccer. I also have this one memory of when we went to go look at some model homes in a fancy area & talked about what our own homes would look like in the future.
I know you are at peace in heaven, we will all miss & love you. I’m glad you were a part of Sylvia’s & Kayleb’s life. 💐💝

My condolences to Elva's family.  My name is Gricelda (Gomez) Mauer.  I  met Elva back in Paramount High School.  She was very quiet but friendly with all of us girls, we were quite a big group and hang around, just having fun. I lost contact with Elva after high school,  this is the firts time I  have heard about her and with sad news. Will cherish the high school memories of her. 🙏 friend you are in a better place.  Gricelda Mauer 

Dear mom, 
I miss you so much my heart hurts…  I wish you were here with us. This month is special and at the same time very hurtful to go through. My birthday and Mother’s Day fall on this month and now your burial. I was your Mother’s Day gift from god and now you’re his gift. Now you are a guardian angel for Yasmín, Amy and I. I know you will always watch over us, I hope in time our hearts can heal this wound a loss so hurtful that the pain is felt. I will always love you forever to infinity. 

Dear mom, thank you for always being there for Frankie. You were his only grandmother he ever had. Of course he had his great grandmothers but only one grandma and you were that to him. The times you spent with him were unconditional love and nurturing. He loved you a lot and will always and forever. You were very special to him and he grew to have your heart.

Dear mom, I love you and miss you so much. Your grandchildren loved you unconditionally and you loved them even more. They way you would light up when you would see Daniel always put a smile on your face he reminded you of how much you passed on your warm heart to him. You were always kind and loving and I’m glad my kids get that from you. We love you. 

Sister thank you for being an amazing sister caring loving and understanding always putting others before you . I miss you so much you left me so many wonderful memories  the Cruise we took together that you didn't want to go on and somehow I convinced you  and we had a blast all  the trips we went on together.  Atlanta ,Rosarito Ensenada Tecate, Tijuana so many memories that I will cherish till we meet again. I Love You sister

My mind knows that you are in a better place where there is NO pain . I just wish I could explain that to my heart 💔. Thank you for being Aunt/Mom/Friend to me . May the Angels 👼 of heaven whisper to your ear how MUCH we love and miss you 😢… Fly high my sunshine 😭😭May you rest in paradise 🙏🏻

Amy Danny and Yasmin sorry for your loss Always remember that your mom loved all of you so much and she fought till the end .  Now you have a beautiful Angel watching over you. love Tia Rosie. 

Gracias Dios mío por prestarme a una tía tan hermosa tan cariñosa siempre al pendiente en las buenas y en las malas siempre estabas para darme unas palabras de aliento siempre bien positiva I love you shorty forever You well Always be in my heart

I had some fun memories of you grandma, from me spending the night at your house to going to church and praying with you. I’m happy I was able to bring amora over and I’m grateful that I have your support and love. May you rest in peace 🩵

One of the good times I had with her was when we went out to eat at IN-N-Out, we had a good time and laughed ate some good food and just hung out.  I miss her may she rest in peace. 

I love you Grandma I couldn’t have asked for a better one. You were such a strong woman I’ll miss you forever  🩷🕊️.

Elva , una mujer hermosa por fuera y dentro. Para ella no existía el egoísmo o negatividad para nadie y siempre ayudando a otras personas. nunca importaba la situación siempre encontraba soluciones. Siempre la llevaré en mi corazón como un ejemplo a seguir y se que ahora ella ya goza de la vida eterna junto a nuestro señor jesucristo y descansa en paz por siempre mi amiga. Un día nos encontraremos de nuevo. Descansa en paz 🙏🙏🌷🌷🌷🌷✝️✝️✝️✝️
