To Greg,Marianne and Ron, please accept my condolences. My fondest memories of Mrs. Gonzalez are being at Linda and Greg's house on fourth of July, and spending time talking with her on the patio. We would talk about may things. She gave me many of my best recipes. Her chicken and rice recipe is the BEST! I still have the recipe she gave me in her own handwriting, and I will cherish my recipe that came directly from her. She was an EXCELLENT cook! We would joke, and I would tell her she needed to open up a restaurant, and she would laugh. We had many a laughs together, as she was a real jokestar. And sharp as a tac. She was a very intelligent woman and I felt like I could talk to her about anything. However we would always end up in a laugh. She was sooooooooo funny! So I know where Greg got his humour from. She will be surely missed. I am so glad I was able to spend time with her at Laura and Andrey's party. We of course ended up laughing and having a good time at the party together. I have very fond memories of Mrs. G and I glad I was able to spend time talking with her at the Fourth of July parties, getting great recipes from her, which I will cherish, and sharing many, many good laughs together. She surely will be missed.

Pastor Ron and Carol, We extend our heartfelt condolences to you at this difficult time. Our continued prayer is that the God of Peace and Comfort will take you through this journey carrying you all the way. May His promises resonate within and sustain you both.

I am very sorry about the loss of "Grandma Gonzalez" as our kids called her. I first met her in 1980, and she was a great mother-in-law to me for 27 years. She was a wonderful, kind and loving Grandma to Laura, Diane and Brian, and never had a bad word to say about anyone. She was so excited when our babies were born and so happy to hold them for the first time. I remember her shiny Chambers stove in her old house in Maplewood, she took such pride in it, and washed the oven with soap and water every time she used it, and she was such a great cook, she loved her deep well on that stove and missed it when she moved. She loved getting new clothing for her birthday and Christmas. I used to enjoy finding her Alfred Dunner outfits, they were her favorites. We tried to make her the best dressed Grandma around! We had lots of fun when we used to take her to Point Pleasant with the kids and walk on the boardwalk. One day we played miniature golf, and she got a hole in one. She was so excited about that! She loved our cat Tiger, he used to sleep with her when she would sleep over for our big July 4th picnics. My entire family loved visiting with her at the picnics and at Christie family gatherings. Oh, and let's not forget her brownie pan! She would make brownies and take her time and be SO precise about cutting the brownies the same size, over the years the cut lines have worn into the pan, Greg used to tease her to hurry up and cut the brownies faster, but she never did ! So many memories, so little space, I could go on forever. I am sorry that circumstances did not allow me to visit her these last couple years of her life, but she was not forgotten to me. I am very glad that Laura & Andrey, Diane & Braz, and Brian got to have a grandma like her. They have many happy memories. She will always hold a special place in my heart. My sympathies to all of you. Linda Christie (formerly Linda Gonzalez)

With deepest sympathy to the family. Elenora was very special - sweet and kind to all. She will be missed. Harold and Laura Ryan
