Although, I my heart aches because my cousin is no longer with us today I celebrate her life. Praise God for the forty years He gave us. Elida had such a sweet spirit and always so full of joy. I loved her amazing wit that kept us laughing and her laughter that was soooo contagious. I can’t help but smile when I think of her. Thank God for these short but memorable forty years. Good bye for now my sweet cousin – you will be truly missed.
Love,
Masci

I was stunned to hear of your loss. Though we seldom see each other, know that I have fond memories of our childhood together on Jefferson Street, playing ball with the Torres kids, the Saldivar girls and the Rodriguez kids too. My heart goes out to all of you and Elida will be in our prayers.
