I just learned of Lupes passing today and i felt so sad for you all. I took care of her. I remember her and i talking about the best food for a Mexican wedding, and how to make your tamale's so good. I also remember her watching her mexican soaps and how funny she was, "SHHHH.. the soaps are on" and then she would smile..
She will be greatly missed and i am so sorry for your loss..
