I knew Lupe many years ago when I was an x-ray student then employee at Providence. Lupe was so very kind and patient with me and an excellent teacher. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers; we are all better for knowing her and sharing her life and light.

Hello Paco, Lupe was a kind sole. THe one time I was able to meet her in person I knew she was as good if not better than all the kind comments and description I had herad from you over the years. I am glad my good friend had a wife like her to take care of him and want the best for him. I know it has been her encouragement in your like that has lead you to the person you are today. May the Holy Spiit comfort my great freind in this time of greiving and let you know of his presence around you. Love your Christian Brother. Many of the Wednesday Nite MJ bunch send their condolences through me to you.

Lupe taught me so much while I was an x-ray student 30 years ago. She was always full of energy and willingness to help the students learn. She set such a HIGH standard for the students to follow. Lupe was a wonder woman who will be missed by many.

Please know that you are in my prayers as you grieve the loss of Lupe. How well I remember her from my days as organist at St. Mary's. And what a joy and an inspiration she was to those of us who worked with her at Providence Medical Center.
