Ms. Q, I remember clearly the first day me and my grandma met you.  It was Tuesday night BINGO at St. Ambrose many many years ago and ever since then you and my grandma were best friends. You were a big part of our family's lives and we will miss you dearly. I remember many late night games of loteria in our kitchen and all the laughs we shared. You were always there for us in many ways to share the good times and the sad times your heart was always open to us no matter what. May you rest in peace and I hope you and my grandma are sharing laughs and playing Bingo again. My prayers are with you and your family.

Miss Q, May you rest in peace. I will miss you dearly. I was just talking to my mom the other day about visiting you. Your were my grandmother's best friend. You were always there for my family and I in the good times and the bad. I loved you so much godmother. 
So many memories...you picking me up from school as a kid all the way until high school. You at the house playing lotteria until all hours of the night with my grandma. And of course all the parties...
My prayers for you Mrs. Quintero and your family. Until we meet again.

To all my cousins, please know that my prayers and thoughts are with you during this very difficult time. When I think of my Tia, I will always remember the laughter and the love she brought into a room. Our mom would get so excited when she would come to Bryan to visit or the times we were able to take her to Houston. "My little sister" is how my Mom would always refer to her as was a very special aunt to all of us along with our Uncle Salvador. What a great couple they were. I could not help but think that when she arrived in heaven, what a reception she received from Uncle Salvador to all her sisters and brother, Uncle Rey. I will always remember the love and warmth she gave to me as her nephew. God Bless each of you...Bobby Garcia

   ONLY TIME WILL HEAL THE FAMILYS GOD BLESS ALL.
                                
                              YOUR FRIENDS JOHN & MARY ANN BEARDEN

To my cousins i send my love as we celebrate my beloved Tia Elida's life.  She was full of love and live and so very giving.  I spent many a nite in Houston after too much dancing to get back to Bryan safely on my Tia's couch. My parents knew i was in the best of hands.  My mom and dad so loved her and tio Salvador and all of you.  My prayers and those of my family are with you today and always.  May God bless all of you and heaven just got an angel.  Love, Federico(Fred) Garcia

So many beautiful memories and joyous times with grandma.  A wonderful woman with a kind and generous heart that overflowed with love and compassion for each and every one of us.  I will cherish and miss you always.

Words can not express how I feel about my beautiful Tia Elida , she will forever be in my heart and she will be missed.  I watched her slowly transform from a person in love with life to a in-firm soul,  due to her illness , I am glad that she is at peace and now she is re-united with my Uncle Salvador. they were the perfect picture of true love.  Adios Tia , till we meet again In the glory of the Lord.

With a tear in my eyes, I write this loving tribute to my beautiful, funny, and wonderful Tia Elida. Since receiving  the news of her passing, my thoughts have been filled with memories of long ago times. I remember our family going to Tia's house in Bryan on weekend evenings. The parents would talk while the kids played. I always enjoyed those times because Tia Elida and Tio Salvador would have the Look or Life magazines. I still remember one of those nights when looking at one of the magazines and being amazed at seeing photos of the new LA Dodger stadium that would become their new home. I remember it well because, as a kid, I was a "Brooklyn Dodger" fan and it broke my heart when they moved to LA. 
I remember Tio Salvador taking us out to a field by their house so that Frankie and us could fly our kites.  I remember when they piled us all into their station wagon and took us to see the Battleship of Texas and the San Jacinto Monument. 
I have never forgotten my Tia's laughter and the love she showed my uncle. They made a great couple. 

Mary, Frankie, Juanita, Esmeralda,Mona Lisa, and Savior.......Your Mom had a great mother, very loving sisters and a brother who loved them all.
She married a wonderful man in Tio Salvador. She always has and always will hold a special place in my heart. 

I may not be able to attend Tia's funeral, so please accept my most sincere condolences.  On Thursday, I will not be mourning Tia Elida.....I will be celebrating her life and the love she shared with everyone that ever met her.

Sincerely,
Reynaldo (Rey) Garcia

I will miss my mom forever, but I will not ever forget her. She will always have a place in my heart that will never ever go away. Mom you are no longer suffering and God has given you the gift that you have been requesting since the passing of our father. You can now dance in heaven with daddy. With all my LOVE.
Your daughter,
Mona Lisa
