At birth her weight 3 ½ lbs. at Denver General Hospital, the Nurses would say here comes the “Milk Man”, for Daddy would walk to the hospital to deliver Mom’s breast milk.

Lupe was a kind, loving, generous woman, bringing a ray of sunshine full of peace, love, and joy to all. Everyone she met loved her. A passionate daughter, sister, wife, mother, auntie, grandmother and great grandmother. We believe her purpose in life was to “Radiate Love”. She was the second child of six we feel so grateful and blessed to have her in our life. At a young age, 11 years old, she would care for us when parents were out, she would bounce the bed to rock us to sleep, singing, “Go to sleep my baby, go to sleep my baby. An Angel here on earth. She enjoyed baking her bread and pies so delicious. She also enjoyed walking with her brother, Johnny and riding RTD or Light Rail, no planned destination, just to pass the time. People would think they were married, for they were always together. Her favorite food; enchiladas, hot dogs and Chinese lo mien.

Incredible Lady, she knew everyone’s birthdates and would call or give a card. A very strong lady her hand grip, WOW! And if she pats you on your back, brace yourself, she doesn’t realize her strength. When you would visit her, a super perfect hostess, feeding you if you are hungry or not, would always make you comfortable.

Sister, you took part of our hearts with you, missing you each and every day. The minute your heart stopped beating, we know you rejoiced in God’s presence, it started to rain large rain drops, “Earth Cries Heaven Smiles” Europa! Rejoice in Paradise with our Lord Jesus Christ and all our Angels. Our tears we cried, for you left us, also tears of joy, no more pain, you’re at peace. You’ll live on forever, everlasting in our hearts, precious memories! Until we meet again rest easy.

Family honors Pastor Bo and Pastor Jake, thank you prayers for Lupe, now and in the past and for family.
