Read MoreBarbara, so very sorry for your loss. Time will eventually heal some of the hurt and then the happy and sharing memories of your mom will fall into place. It's tough, but hang in there.

Dear Cousins,
I am sorry to hear of our Great Aunt Lupe's passing. I have nothing but fond and loving memories of your mom - she and your dad were a class act - people from another time. It was always a pleasure to visit you all and to gain another perspective into our Montoya family from my grandma's twin. All of my love and best wishes for this new year go out to you both. May the new year bring you peace and healing and may Lupe's light continue to shine on in both of you for many...

Although we have never touched the same city at the same time, I feel that I have known you and Lupe for a very long time. I remember the cookie exchanges, the internet thang. I remember the luncheon where you introduced the group to the cell phone. and I still laugh.
May the light of the good times guide you through the next times.
