I always remember and think about the fun memories with you when my sister, brothers, and I were kids. The times you would laugh with us or dance around our house when your favorite songs would play on the radio. Although we lost contact over the years, I have never forgotten the memories, nor did I ever stop thinking of you. You were one of my favorites. May you now rest in peace Tia Lupe.

When the family gather together to celebrate the life and cherish the memory of Lupe, I hope you find comfort knowing that God keep those who pass on in his memory because they are precious to him. Psalms 116:15.

To my best friend Lupe it's hard for me to believe your gone. I wish this didn't have to happen after all we've been friends since high school I guess that's why it's so hard to let go until we meet again rest in paradise love you.your best friend pat (tichie)

Dear Tia Lupe, I wish you peace and rest as you journey off into the loving arms of Our Heavenly Father. To me you were always an inspiration of strength. A woman of kindness and fun. Your smiled said it all :) Your soft gentle voice was great to listen to. Your laughter was contagious. I LOVED seeing you dance and have fun. I also enjoyed seeing you in the peace and quiet of your home. Just, going up to your blue gate and yelling out~ Tia Lupe....Oh' Es La Selma, as you came to open the door with your smile knowing someone came to visit. You had such a welcome heart and invited us in. Thank you for that. Despite your adversities in life you smiled, you had fun, you supported and loved everyone. To me you were easy to Love, easy to talk to. You were real and you didn't hold back that's what made you cool and easy to be around. Thank you for being you...The Lupe Cruz, God created you to be. You will be missed and know that you have given us all great memories of you. WE LOVE YOU, go and rest now, until we see you again.

Love Always,
Selma, Jimmy, Jimmy Jr. and Alexis Torres

Tia Lupe, You will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for all the great memories and laughs. You were always such a fun person to be around. Thank you for helping my sister Trina and for being a good sister to my Mom. Words can't express the pain I feel to see my Mom, Nana Lupe, all the family with their hearts broken because we will no longer be able to see you, hug you, hear your voice or share those moments with you again. There is so many things left unsaid, I wish I could've told you how much I loved you and how much me and my sisters enjoyed your company when you would come to our family gatherings. Tia, you will be missed, but never forgotten. Love you always, Breanna, Gerardo, Gerardito, and Giulian.
