I think it's safe to say that I can speak for the Acebedo family by saying what an angel your mother was,from the time we were little girls and moved to that neighborhood,your mom and dad made us feel so welcome .I was only 9yrs old then.Then later in life we shared a bible study at St.Johns church,still the same kind lady as always.It was a pleasure and honor to know her,and to share her love for church,and our God.You are all in my prayers.Love the Acebedo family.

To the entire family, our prayers and thoughts are with you. Elda was an true inspirational women always going the extra mile. Her garden was full and thriving, she was always cooking something yummy ( loved her hot fudge for homemade ice cream), and her artistic abilities shined as she made portraits of all her children. She will be missed by so many, but her recipes and art will live on.

Remembering Elda with a warm, friendly and welcoming smile while working at a school with no windows. They weren´t needed when Elda was about. RIP.
