All the wonderful things you did for me. As a teenager, and after Hancy passed away, you and my other sisters helped me get through life. I do remember you having me paint your bedroom and there was little ventilation so I think I was very dizzy!  We laughed about that for years.  You were my hero as you went through your medical problems determined to heal. But the Lord knew you were tired and gave you your heavenly home. My heart broke. I miss you. Liz Ann and John took such good care of you.  You’d be so proud of them. Til I see you in heaven remember how thankful I am for you and I love you ❤️❤️❤️Tina

Miss you, my Sister.  Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. I was so sorry when you left us but then realized you’re well in heaven and with John, Pudding, our parents and all our loved ones. 

Dear grandma , i love you so much. You were the most beautiful soul I’ve ever met , you were always so encouraging and kind . I’ll forever miss the times we just would sit and talk , you’d tell me all about god and how you want me to go to school to be a nurse. You were and will forever be my rock. My beautiful  grandma you’ll be missed but never forgotten , this is a time of grieving but also a time for celebration of your life and your new life to be. I’m so happy your finally with your family and grandpa Rest In Peace Elizabeth.

Hey grandma it’s Jimmy I just wanted to say that I love you and that I’m grateful for everything you’ve done for me and that you’ve always been there for me through everything and thank you for taking me in when I had no where else to go and I’ll forever cherish each moment we have had together thank you again for everything I love you grandma  and I’ll miss you 

Elizabeth, my beautiful friend, how I miss you! I am so grateful to be called your friend. You were there with me through my very difficult time with my son. I am so happy that you are home now and can see and walk again. I know you are so happy with your “sweetie”, your parents and sister. I will miss our talks and prayer time, thank you for everything. I love you my friend.

I love and will miss you so very much.  You were a very uplifting and a totally dedicated part of my life n I dread having to go forward without you . 💔 but nothing can make me happier than knowing my grandma finally has her best friend at her side once again. 
Thank you for all the love my auntie Lizzie ❤

We first met Elizabeth and her husband Juan at Montebello Christian fellowship Church. Often times before church or afterwards we would sit and visit with them as we enjoyed breakfast or lunch together.  Elizabeth was always so nicely dressed and I thought them to be a very handsome couple.  We admired them both, and aspired to be like them as we would grow older.  We were able to enjoy many Bible studies with Elizabeth and Juan at their daughter Liz's home.   You are resting in peace beautiful Elizabeth 💐🙏.

Elizabeth (Lizzy) and I were one month apart in birth.  We were born in Flagstaff at her Dad's house.  In the past few years she has been so faithful in calling me and seeing how I am and how the family was.  She would call when ever anything happened to the Portillo family and tell me about it.  She was keeping me in the loop of the cousins.  I thank the good Lord that I got to know her a little more in those phone visits.  She was always cheerful and up beat laughing and telling about some of the family history.  I will miss her phone calls.  May the Lord bless her family I know I will see her again in heaven.  Blessings Linda Gillespie Ray (Martina Portillo Gillespie's daughter)

Aunt Lizzy was like my best friend. We would eat lunch together almost every day for years. She loved to talk about the family and family out home. She shared all kinda of interesting stories about her life growing up and we laughed liked crazy! I will miss her dearly. I will miss the laughs and prayer times we had together. We called eachother alot just to chat at all hours. She actually called me the week before she got hospitalized and made me laugh. I love you Aunt Lizzy and will miss you dearly! I'm glad you're no longer suffering or sad. Uncle John is waiting for you I'm sure!! I love you.

Elizabeth is the grandmother  of my 3 children nick jimmy n Catherine she was a wonderful lady n amazing  person  just no she’ll be miss and my thoughts r with the family thank u
