Elena Gonzalez Obituary
El Paso - Beloved wife, mother, & grandmother, Elena Gonzalez, was called home by the Lord on July 15, 2020. She is reunited with her son, Nicholas, and parents, Francisco and Maria Arroyos.
Left to cherish her memory is her husband, Fernando Jr., with whom she would have celebrated 50 years of marriage this month.
Left to carry her legacy are her daughters, Annette, Rachel and Hilda; sons, Fernando III, Johnny and Peter; 21 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. She will be dearly missed by brothers, Frankie, Tury, Vicente, Raymond, Martin, Ruben, David, and Ernie; sisters, Becky, Lucy, Rosa and Marylou, and countless family and friends.
Elena gladly served God with all her heart and always put Him first. She would say, "Primeramente Dios." She had a tremendous heart, showered everyone with love and family came first. Her positive outlook and strong faith comforts and inspires us all.
Mom, We still see your face before us, Your voice we long to hear… We miss and love you dearly, God knows, we wish you were here. Tears fall freely from our eyes, Like a river filled with grief. Our only comfort now, is that from pain, you've found relief. Missing You
Due to the current pandemic, services will be held privately.

Five Minutes
If I only had five mintes, the day you passed away. I would have had time to tell you, all the things I needed to say.
I never got to tell you, how much you mean to me. Or that you were the best, that anyone could be.
The last time I talked to you, I wish I would have known. I would have said I love you, and kept you on the phone.
IF I ONLY HAD FIVE MINUTES, THE DAY YOU PASSED AWAY.....
I'd hold on to you with real tight hugs, I wouldn't want you to go. I would tell you that I'll miss you, more than you'll ever know.
Now God has called upon you, it's time to get your wings. To leave this life behind you and enjoy all heavens beautiful things.
So wait for me in heaven, don't let me come alone. The day the angels come for me, Please be there to bring me home.

My sweet prima Nena, I remember when we were kids and my parents would take us to go visit in the summer time, you would always give me snacks without anyone else knowing. I loved that!
Years later when we would visit she always had her home open for us to stay. Her hospitality was the best!
It was my dad's home away from home!
I love talking to her on the phone. We would catch up on what was happening in California and Texas.
I Love you and miss you dearly Prima.
