    Sending regards and love to Elsa’s family at this time. I didn’t get it meet her many times but when I did her love for life and her family always beamed off of her. Always so stylish and beautiful (thanks to Luis I’m sure!) she was a welcoming and warm person that will be sorely missed.

    Thank you for all the conversations you had with me, for loving me as another grandson.

    A sweet woman, a sense of style, and a kind heart…Elsa was all these and more. I know her family, friends, and our family will miss her. She & her husband (Luis) joined us many times for celebrations or just to share a bottle of champagne. We cherish those memories while living in BC and those memories will live on. My condolences to Luis, Doug, and sisters of Luis. RIP, Elsa.
