She was my aunt. she had several terms of endearment for me such as preciosa, mihita, and others. I can still remember her saying them and the way she said them. I remember the love she had towards me as a child. She had a big warm body that I loved to hug. She has a very special place in my heart because when I was going through a very hard time in my life she came there to see me and show her support and concern. I wished I could have seen her more over the past years, it has been so long. She will always hold a special place in my heart, and she is one family member that it hurts to see go.

Lupe was a kind, sweet, and holy lady and I have such fond memories of our pilgrimage to Spain, Portugal & France in 1999. I know she went straight to heaven! She is now praying for her family and friends. I will miss seeing her at Mass!
