To Elvira's family: I also have fond memories of Elvira and my grandmother Estefana Ramirez and the times that they spent together. They loved each other dearly and were the best of friends. They had alot in common, they were fantastic grandmothers. They left us with beautiful memories which will last us until we see them again.

To The Family Of Elvira...I was deeply saddened to hear of Elvira's passing. I have so many fond memories of her and my grandmother Estefana, especially when the would spend hours "chatting away" on the phone!! I know my grandmother welcomed her with open arms and they are sitting in heaven "chatting". Thoughts and prayers for you all.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
