Elana was my second little sister from another mister growing up.  Gosh do I miss her in earthly form!!!! Her kind, vibrant, electric spirit continues to surround me if I stop and listen.

Elana has been on my mine for about a month now, then I  noticing I didn’t see any recent posts. I then looked at her page and was heart broken. Then came to the internet to see this lovely page. I met her in Germany 2012 or 13.  She was this light that filled the room. I’m glad I knew her and heard her voice. Please rest in peace Elana you incredible women.

Elana popped into my mind tonight, and I realized I hadn’t seen any updates in a long time. Elana was one of the first people I met when we moved to Germany in 2015. I will never forget her smile and I absolutely loved listening to her sing. Fly high, Elana, you will never be forgotten. ❤️

Some people leave a lasting mark just by being themselves. Elana was one of those people--kind, grounded, and full of life. My thoughts are with Justin and family.

Dear Barbara and family:

Our heart is truly broken for you and your family. We cannot begin to imagine the depth of your pain, and there are simply no words that can make sense of such a heartbreaking loss.

Please know that we are holding you close in our thoughts and surrounding you with love.  We are here for you — for anything you need, whenever you need it.

With all our love and deepest sympathy,

Mabel and Eddie Toledo
