Dearest Elisa,
How lucky I am to have known you. Wise, beautiful, gracious, charming, with an astounding character is how I will always remember you, and what I aspire to be. Bering place will miss you dearly. The summers will never be the same. I know you are happy, at peace and dancing with the loved ones you have been missing while here on Earth. Vaya con Dios, Mija.

Elisa-
We wish we could have seen you more. You were there for your grandson, Jude, as well as for me from the start. I also had a great deal of respect for you as a parent. Claudio was blessed to have your support and love as well. He really loves you. It was plain to see that. My sadness is great in remembering our great talks as it makes me regret us not having more. You were strong, beautiful, funny, fun, intelligent beyond words, and loyal to your family. When the time is right, I will tell Jude what a gem his grandmother was. Keep an eye on Jude through the years, okay? You have a much better view from up there! We love you and will miss you.

The following text in Spanish was written by Elisa
YA VIVÍ EL HOY
Sí, mirando he visto, he reconocido rostros que quizás existieron en un pasado que no ubico, en una existencia que quedó inexplicable o perdida en una nubosidad impenetrable. Son pasados irreproducibles. Sin embargo, a veces sin esperarlo y con gran sorpresa conectamos el presente con ese hilo invisible que quedó pendiente. Es algo tan sutil que la posibilidad de palparlo nos abre puertas que antes desconocíamos. Hay algo que nos indica que los viajes son muchos, que hubo otras vivencias y quizás, sin darnos cuenta, se repiten para que podamos pulirlas y saborearlas. Cometemos tantas equivocaciones... Pero las oportunidades se repiten casi sigilosamente, van entrando de costado, como caballo de paso con elegancia y finura. ¿Cómo no mirarlas? El espectáculo es demasiado embriagador para evitarlo y, de golpe, ¡allí están! Desde siempre han existido flotando pacientemente, aguardando el regreso para vivir así lo inconcluso, inconscientemente traemos las experiencias vividas y todo fluye. ¿Qué habrá sido del ayer? ¿En qué capítulo habrá quedado perdida su historia? El mañana, una incógnita que no temo porque ya viví el hoy.
