She is preceded in death by her parents; her older sister, Angelina; younger brother, Jose; her brothers-in-law, Raymond Brionez and Philip Perez; and 1 sister-in-law, Andrea Campos.
Elisa carried Christ in her heart throughout her life. She was a member of the Assembly of God Church in Minatare from 1979 - 2015, when she could no longer physically attend. She would want us to continue serving Jesus Christ and praying for each other. She served Him completely and happily and put Him first in everything in her life. Her faith serves as an example for us. The only thing second to Christ was her family, whom she cherished and loved. She would always remind us just how much she loved us every chance she got as she cooked our favorite meals for us. As we carry on, let us remember her with love and cherish the time we had with her. We know she’s with Christ now, can see, and is growing a beautiful garden of flowers, chiles, cucumbers, carrots, and spinach. She is now with her loved ones whom she missed so much.
God bless you.
