To The Elizalde Family,



My condolences to you and your family during this hard time. My prayers are with you always. May God be with you each and every minute of the day so that the load of sorrow that you are carrying may be lighter. I think of your family often and with that comes a smile. If there is anything that I can do, please do not hesitate to ask. Peace be with you. Love always......Kim L. Coleman

Tila,



I considered you a grandmother to me even though there was to blood relation. I'll never ever forget out Sunday crochet lessons and spending time with the other "Chata".



To the Elizaldes, you are in my prayers and heart. God bless you for all the care and attention you gave her.



Blessed are the poor in spirit:

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.



Blessed are they that mourn:

for they shall be comforted.

matthew 5:3-10 - jesus



Love you always.

My deepest condolences to the Elizalde family at this time. It is truly a loss for the Mata family as well. Tila will always have a special place in our hearts because of her kind and gentle ways. I appreciate all the nice talks we shared over the years. My aunt Noemi's house will not be the same. To uncle Arnie and aunt Noemi, I'd just like to say how very proud I am to be your niece. The way you took care of Tila up until her last days was beautiful. Nobody could have taken care of her the way you did. But right now let's be thankful for today, that we are able to be there for one another. I am here for you. All my loving, Melissa and family

Tila, it seems as though I have known you my whole life. My sisters remember when you tried to teach them how to crochet and I remember your lemon pies. We know how much you loved our kids, even though they weren't your "blood" relatives. You were always kind and patient with them. You will be missed. May you rest in peace.



To the Elizalde family we extend our deepest sympathy.



Noemi, Arnie, Steven,and Nicholas, please know that we are here for you should you ever need anything. We know how hard the last year has been for you, and you are due so much credit for taking such good care of Tila. It was because of your patience and dedication that Tila was able be with us as long as she was. God Bless you. You can be sure that you have earned your places in heaven.

"Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him." James 1:12



You are in our prayers.
