ELIZABETH QUINTANA Obituary

QUINTANA Elizabeth Quintana, born on December 11, 1967 was unexpectedly taken from us on June 22, 2011 at 1:30 a.m. She was a single mother who was caring and loved her beautiful children unconditionally. Liz was selfless and generous especially when it came to them. She had a free spirit, was fearless and had a passion for life. She brought a powerful energy and captured everyone's attention when she walked into any room. Although her height was intimidating her contagious laughter lightened the hearts of all those around her. One of her greatest joys in life was riding her customized, one of a kind, purple Harley with her friends. She was an avid participant in charity bike runs. At heart Liz was a traditional family gal who loved being surrounded by her large family. She certainly will be missed and her love will always be with us. May God bless her and all those who loved her. Elizabeth is survived by her children Sarah Lynn, Linda Marie, and Branden James Quintana and her parents Jacob and Margarita Sena. Siblings are Maria Magdalena Sena, Linda Lorraine Wiseman, Sylvia Garcia and Martin Sena. Followed by Nephew and Nieces Stephanie Alyssa Garcia, Lauren Savannah Seelig, Brittany Erin Garcia, and A.J Seelig. Visitation will be held Sunday, June 26, 2011 from 5 to 8 pm at Sunset Funeral Homes-West: Funeral Services will be Monday, June 27, 2011 at 10:30 am at Harvest Christian Center. Interment to follow at Memorial Pines Cemetery. Services Entrusted to Sunset Funeral Homes-West. Please visit our online website at www.sunsetfuneralhomes.net

I met Liz 20 years ago through my dear friend Maryann Bernadett. Her height was intimidating when I first met her, but once I got to know her I discovered her generous heart and her joyful spirit. She will be missed.

My sincere condolences. God bless. May she rest in peace,

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I only knew Liz a short time. Her best friend Alonzo is also my best friend. My memories of her will always be one of laughing and having a good time, especially when we were riding. It was an honor to have ridden with her and that I had a chance to call her my friend. We shall all miss her terribly.

"They that wait upon the Lord will renew there stregnth and mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and no be weary, they shall walk and not faint."

God bless your children, and family with perfect peace as you've entered into your eternal home! I hadn't seen you in years ( and your mom over a year ago) but I had said a prayer for you a few weeks ago.

God Bless!
