Hernan, Eneida, Jessica ,
May you find comfort knowing that Elsa's spirit will always be with you. You have lost a Wife, Mother and Grandmother but you now have an Angel protecting and guiding you from heaven.
Always remember that she loved you unconditionally and always wanted the best for you.
LOVE, MARIO & CARMEN CORDERO (CORTES)
