My sincerest condolences to George & Anna and the Curiel family. I remember Lupe from school all the way back to Fairlawn with her beautiful hair and bright smile. She must have worked my sister Debra at Ferguson and I had no idea. May love fill your heart in her absence.

My husband and I are saddened to hear of Lupe's passing. We worked with her this past year selecting our appliances and fixtures for our new home. Lupe was incredibly knowledgeable and always helpful. Our condolences to her family and friends.
