In-laws, Pedro and Isabel, Amparo, Mario, Lori, Carlos. Nieces and nephews, Edis, Katelynne, Alexandra, Tatiana, Albita, Julito, Eliana, Marco and numerous others in the U.S. and El Salvador. Elida was outgoing, loving, strong and embraced everyone with open arms. She loved to travel, shop and was talented and creative in many ways. Her smile, her sense of humour, her positive attitude will not be forgotten. Elida put other's needs before her own. Elida loved reunions with family and friends to keep everyone together. As she was an Angel on earth, she is now in Heaven. The family expresses its heartfelt appreciation to close friends who supported the family, and to the many medical and other caregivers at the Health Sciences Centre.
