Elizabeth Hernandez
Feb. 19,1990 - May 18, 2009
Elizabeth Hernandez, daughter of Daniel
and Leticia Hernandez and beloved sister of
Joshua Daniel Hernandez, died peacefully
on the morning of May 18, 2009.
Elizabeth was born on Feb. 19, 1990.
Elizabeth was a lovable young lady with
a generous heart whose compassionate
nature was evident in all she did. Her joy
for life was constantly displayed in her
enthusiastic personality and her love for
people. Her family was most important
to her. Danny, Leticia, Josh and Elizabeth
spent many hours of love and laughter with
one another. Anyone who met Elizabeth
Hernandez
was immediately enchanted with her kindness and her love for life
impacted everyone.
Elizabeth was created in God’s image and she honored God with
her life. Her family considered it a privilege to engage in everyday
life with her. Any challenging situation brought their family closer
together as they depended on God’s faithfulness and love. Each
family member’s relationship with Jesus Christ was strengthened
by their dependence upon Him. His glory echoed through the inno-
cence she walked in and carries on today and lives forever where
she now is with her Father.
As sad as Elizabeth’s death is for those who remain here, the joy
is overflowing and abundant that Elizabeth is now living wholly in
the presence of God who sustained her life here on earth.
Elizabeth is survived by her mother and father, Leticia and Daniel
Hernandez; her brother, Joshua Daniel; her maternal grandparents,
Rudy and Minny Serrata; and her paternal grandparent, Cecilia
Chopa Hernandez; along with many aunts, uncles and cousins.
A visitation will be held Wednesday, May 20, at the Ebensberger-
Fisher Funeral Home from 6-8 p.m.
The funeral will be Thurs- w.um
day, May 21: time and place are
pending.
In lieu of flowers, contributions
may be made to Boerne-Samuel
