Dear Melendez family, my deepest of sympathy on the passing to greener pastures of Lulu.  She was one of the elders of the Cleveland Associates of the Dominican Sisters of Peace that mom, Rosa Alvarado started so long ago.  I have a beautiful Christmas Wreath that Lulu, made for me and I will always remember her when I place it on the door of my bedroom.  She was gifted, talented, funny and a women of great faith.  I will not be able to come to the services because of Covid-19.  I had it not to long ago and we sisters  are not allowed to go anywhere, else it is to a doctor. But I will be with you in spirit. May Lulu rest in the loving hands of her maker forever.  Peace, Joy and mos of all LOVE.

My first memory...The year was circa 1969, and I was around 4 years old. We pull up to a UHaul truck sitting at a corner gas station. The doors fly open, and out she comes along with her whole family...Relocating from NJ, they were here to stay. The picnics at Mentor headlands; The wrestling matches at the Cleveland Arena; the parrandas this time of year, one song in particular has stuck with me "El Fua! la luz"; Oh how could I forget taking me to catechism classes kicking and screaming, and countless others that could easily fill a library of albums. My last memory...earlier this year at my father's funeral where she sat next to me holding my hand the entire time. At one point nudged me to cutoff someone's mic coz they were too long winded, and we had to move it along. uff, the end of an era....and those "consejos". 😞 💔

Mom (Grandma Lulu),

You were one in a million. There is no one else like you and no one will ever compare to the mother and grandmother that you were to all of us. We will always carry a part of you with us. Your wings were ready but our hearts were not. Until we meet again. 

Love always,
Aida, Anyssa, Nykki, Charles, Chris, and Ari

God saw that you were in pain, and decided to take you home. But you didn’t go alone for you took a piece of my heart with you.  His garden is much more vibrant now.  I know you’ll  look after me until it’s time for us to get together again. Love you, see you later.  CarmenIris
