Dear Ana, Andrew, Paula, Megan, Lorna and Lucas: We miss her tremendously. Elsa was a devoted woman, a giving and loving persona extraordinaire! We have many fond memories. Cara Zia, Grazie Mille per il tuo gran cuore, generosita e per la tua sincerita. Mandi, mandi Zia! With all our love, John Castellarin and Family
So glad I got a chance to say hi two years ago when I visited Canada with my father Piergiorgio and my mother Valeria.
Rest in peace.
Cecilia
I’m so sad to hear of Elsa’s passing. She was such a kind and caring woman and sure loved her family. When I would visit she would always welcome me into her and Ana’s home and made sure I Had everything I needed and was comfortable. She loved cooking and I still remember her encouraging me to eat more and more which I never refused. She was a hard worker and was always busy either cooking, gardening or doing things for her family. My heart goes out to you Ana and to all of your family. Rest In Peace sweet Elsa.
May you all celebrate a wonderful life and take comfort in one another during this time. Family is the epicenter of our world from the cradle to the grave, and it is in these grief filled and joyous, reflective moments that we may open our eyes once again and appreciate all those around us. My thoughts are with you all today.
Zia Elsa was a sweet, funny and caring person although she had her moments. She certainly did not hesitate to provide her opinion. She always was welcoming and insisted on bringing out all the coffee, liqueur and freshly baked goodies. She made lovely crostadas and crostoli. She was indeed greatly fond of the colour red and was a very proud Leo. All her life whether during good times or very difficult she held on to her common sense and strength. I will miss her so much but am so grateful that I was able to know her after she moved to Canada so long ago. She gave everything to her family and worked so hard to make a comfortable life for them. Ciao zia.
