    Ezila, Thank you for your generous hospitality and the gift of having known you. Your warm personality and sage advice will be cherished by myself and everyone that knew you. Thank you for the pancakes, biscotti and the countless other things you made to satisfy my large appetite. Because of you my life (and my belly) is a little more full. Thank you for the hugs, and the trips you made to see me. I will now never be alone in life knowing that you were a part of it. Thank you for the memories and the moments we had. I now have that much more to look back upon. I will remember and miss you forever, Rest In Peace, Brendan

    Ezila worked for us for about 20 years and over that time period she literally became a member of our family. We all loved her and will miss her wonderful personality, warmth, friendship and kind spirit. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy, I remember when they were born and heard about them every week for years. A wonderful, wonderful person - Rest in Peace Rosanne Greenstein

    There is a new, bright star in heaven. Ezila, you were the epitome of goodness and love. You will be missed.

    I was devastated to learn today of Ezila's passing. She was a most wonderful, caring, loving, strong, loyal, compassionate woman. Her heart was always open to people and animals, her love limitless. Children were drawn to her. She turned her schedule upside down to help me care for my daughter from the time my Alexandra was three months old until she started kindergarten. Today my daughter, now 11, my mom and I all mourn for our dear friend. Whenever I called her, she immediately recognized my voice, as if we spoke daily. I will never forget the sound of her voice and all that she did for me and my family. We were blessed to know her. I wish Fernando, Alexandra and Jordan strength during this holiday season without Ezila.

    Nana, thanks for everything you have done for me. I wouldn't be half the person I am today if it wasn't for you. You have been there for me ever since I was born and I thank you for that. I remember every time I would walk into Dad's and your house I would smell my favorite rice and beans cooking for me. You would do anything for me Dad and Alex no matter what it was! We miss you so much at the house! I remember one day we were going through your jewelery and I found that gold ring with the stone in it and you told me one day I could have it. Well I am wearing it now and I will wear it for the rest of my life, it means alot to me. You were perfect in every way, and not only was I lucky to have you in my life, but you were my Nana. I love you so much and miss you so much! I'll be thinking about you everyday and knowing you're up there looking over me. I love you. Rest in Peace Nana. Your "Baby", Jordan

    Nana, I love you more than you will ever know and miss you everyday for the rest of my life until that one day that we will be together again. You are my inspiration and hero and one of the strongest people I have ever met, I only wish to be half the woman you were someday. You always put everyone before yourself, whether they were family or a complete total stranger, that's just who you were, and only one of the many admirable qualities that you had. We have so many great memories that I will always cherish and think of whenever I may feel sad or want to put a smile on. You always had a smile on your face and lit up the room wherever you were. You have touched the lives of so many people and I am so lucky that I get to call you my nana. You don't have to worry anymore about anything, especially not being able to cook for us. Dad, Jordan, and I will definitely be cooking rice and beans and pastels all the time. You have taught me so much about life and appreciating what you have, and for that I am forever grateful and will never forget it. Rest In Peace Nana. I love and miss you more than anything and you are my angel. Love, your "baby" Alex <3

    Nana, I just want to start by thanking you for letting me be part of your life. You are the strongest person I have ever met in my life I wish I could have the strength that you had in one finger. You are very much loved and missed by everyone, I have never met somebody that has the effect on people that you do. My brother and father had only met you once and knew how great and strong of a person you are. I remember and still working and doing everything for us even when you were sick. Allways making sure your Ally was fed and taken care of. And I promise you with everything that I have in my body I will protect, take care, and make sure she is treated like the princess you helped make her. When my grandmother passed and even before that you took the place of my Nana and I am greatly appreciative of how you took me in as I was one of yours. Thank you for teaching me how to be a better person when I needed it the most. You will allways be in my heart and memories and I know you are at peace. I Love You So Much Nana Ezila - Justin

    Ezila, the first time I met you 23 years ago I knew you were a special person, but I didn't realize how lucky I was going to be to have such an incredible woman as my family. You were such a beautiful person inside and out. I never met anyone as generous and caring as you. You alway put everyone before yourself. My girls or should I say "our" girls, Alex and Jordan were your everything and they certainly knew it. Thank you for being such a special friend to me and an incredible Nana to the girls. You will be missed more than I can express. Rest in peace. I love you with all my heart.
