How sorry we are to lose Lupe, but we know she is resting now and has no more discomfort or pain. Sadly, 2020 has been a tough year for everyone. Stay strong, we'll all be together again in God's timing. May she rest in peace until then. 

She’s faced the hardest times you could imagine and many times her eyes fought back the tears
……. when her youthful world was about to fall in…. each time her slender shoulders bore the weight of all her fears and a sorrow no one hears ….still rings in midnight silence  in her ears.
Let her cry for she’s a lady ……let her dream .. for she is a child,  let the rain fall down upon her
She’s a free and gentle flower reminding us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life’s sweetest creation…let us all sing on….

Have compassion for all beings, rich and poor alike…. each has their suffering…some suffer too much, others too little.
Love and blessing to all my family...Myrna

She will always be in heart, our condolences to the family and everyone that she touched, with loving heart ❤️ she will always be with us in spirit and never forgot.                             Our deepest sympathy 💐🙏❤️

Part 3 & final from Raquel: I’ve saved her VM.  I was able to call her back and both Bob and I spoke with her.  She found the stuffed dog and said, “I’m going to sleep with him!”  LOL!!
I will miss so many things with our Aunt Lupe and I’m so happy we were able to spend 10 days with her last year in Oregon with our Aunt Jennifer/Diana’s family, Aunt Vera, Uncle Henry, John-John, Mother Angela, Kristen, Bob & me.  We had so much fun and we also had a chance to see her make her favorite chili.  All these memories will be cherished forever.
A mi querida tía Lupe Marin, te extrañamos tremendamente y siempre estarás en nuestro / mi corazón. Sé que estás con todos los miembros de nuestra familia y bailas de nuevo con el abuelo Victor y la tía Phyliss. Eso me reconforta. Gracias por darnos a nuestros 7 hermosos / guapos primos.
 Te quiero siempre, tu sobrina Rachel / Raquel Ramirez-Marin-Bermudez

To my darling Aunt Lupe Marin, you are missed tremendously and will always be in our/my hearts. I know you're with all our family members and dancing again with Grandpa Victor and Aunt Phyliss. This gives me comfort. Thank you for giving us our 7 beautiful/handsome cousins.
 Love you always, your niece Rachel / Raquel Ramirez-Marin-Bermudez  


We were so sad, because we loved the area, Margarita Elementary school girls attended and all the animals I had to find a home for: Two rabbits, 2 Cockatiels, turtles.  Then I asked my mom if she thought Aunt Lupe would take them and she said maybe.  I called Aunt Lupe and told her my dilemma and I had these cages too if she needed.  She said “Yes!”
Not long after that she had a flock of Cockatiels, two Peacocks she found after walking home from a dance. 😊  I think she and Uncle Pauly ate the rabbits for dinner.  LOL!!!  Well I didn’t see them after that. ? 
It was great to have Aunt Lupe living next door to Grandma/and Grandpa, we could go over and look at all the birds and get the Peacock feathers that had fallen (she saved).
Then they moved, she had a collection of Orchids that myself, Della, Anna and others had given her.  She would cut a piece and place it in plastic bag with wet paper towel, and once it started to root, she’d plant it.  She had an enormous collection of plants and would share with all.  😊
I could always count on Aunt Lupe to take our giveaways and she would share with family and church.
I could always talk to her about anything politics, what was happening in our cities and I’d tell her stories, and she’d told me stories and we would laugh, laugh.  That’s the spice of life.  Laughter!
Our mother wanted another Pepper tree and I also wanted one; Lupe looked high and low for the 3 trees she finally found for us.  We last saw her October 17th at Pete’s reception and I was so happy to get the Pepper trees and I told her that day I was naming mine Tia Lupe, not knowing what was to come.  Now, these trees will mean more to us and in memory of her.
She would always say Darling, Rachel dear, my darling, chow, love you, I love you darling, chow, chow. God bless you. In one voice mail.  LOL!!!  Love it.  I also have VM she left me on October 17th looking for stuffed animal Della told her I had left her, and she said, “I WANT IT!”  LOL!!!  TBC...

Where do I begin?  Aunt Lupe is our first aunt on mother’s side and the eldest of 11 children.  Our mother Angela is the 2nd.  
As far as I can remember you were the one that counseled our mother when she wanted to leave our father and come back to Ontario.  The word’s I remember reading in your letter was that she couldn’t get off the merry-go-around and it wasn’t always better to leave; she needed to make it work for all of us.  We’re so happy she stayed.  LOL!!
Then I remember staying with her one weekend and the whole house was sick with the flu…she gave me for the very first time in my life a wad of Vicks to swallow & to help with cough.  Who does that? She did and I don’t recall if it worked or not.  LOL!!
I also remember seeing Lingerie for first time in her room hanging on hanger and I thought what beautiful black lace.  Of course, at 7-8 years old I didn’t know that’s what it was called…I even told her all these stories/memories and we would laugh!
Another weekend we all stayed at Grandma/Grandpa’s and before we left Jose/& Aunt Lupe took us to Mount Baldy.  It was the very first time I’d gone to the mountains and saw water streaming down the hill.  I went into the cold water with rocks and thought, how beautiful and wonderful this is.  To this day I still love the mountains.
I also have so many memories of us getting together at Grandma’s to make the annual Tamales and we would get critiqued if we put masa to thick or not enough.  We would laugh!!  And do it again…
We always had good times at grandma and grandpas with all the parties, dancing and great food. Grandpa would make barbacoa, then passed down recipe to Aunt Phyliss and now Aunt Vera.  Aunt Lupe and Aunt Phyliss always started the dancing and they both did it well.  I admire them both for that.  😊
In 1989 we had to move from Alhambra to Silverlake to help Bob’s parents to rent back house and it gave us a chance to save up to buy our new home.  To be continued under Bob...ran out of space...

My deepest condolences to my cousins, aunts, uncle & all who feel this great loss of our Tia Lupe. Many of my fondest memories are of my childhood and the times I spent many nights with my Best Everything Elicena.👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏼 We ate many a dinner of pork chops, beans and a salad with mayonnaise dressing as Tia watched the news. 😋 Elicena and I would laugh all night long as best friends do & Tia Lupe would come in and yell at us to be quiet & go to sleep.  We enjoyed lunches together at the Hollander buffet. I would go over to Tia’s house every morning and she would let me drink coffee before giving us a ride to school in her BIG Monte Carlo. I totally thought she was going to hit a car when she made that right turn on Francis. 😳 
As an adult I have beautiful memories of her faith and she was always ready to read a prayer at family gatherings. I had meaningful conversations with her and loved her dearly.❤️ Each time I drove down San Antonio passing her house on my way to church I said a little prayer for her. 🙏🏼  The last time I saw her was at my cousin Pete’s memorial at her house and she gave me a group picture of grandma Mary, Tia Gloria, Tia Angela and herself what a beautiful gift that I received to remember her with. 💝 Thank you Tia Lupe for the beautiful memories etched in my ❤️ and for anyone that really knows me I have a terrible memory.  You have joined my beautiful Mom Patricia Ann Esquivel, give her a huge hug from me you will be forever missed. 🕊💕

My deepest condolences go out to the Fierro family & her surviving sister's and brother🙏.
My heart is heavy Tia Lupe,💔 I just seen you not to long ago. I will always remember you and my mom Phyllis Telles talking and laughing every morning on the phone for hours. You would finish each other's sentences. You were also her best dancing partner at those dances. I will always be thankful and remember the hospitality you showed . Always welcomed me with open arms and  a little prayer when I left. Your laughter will always be remembered, and your love for plants ...especially orchids. I know your celebrating life up there with everyone. Always in my ,♥️

My condolences to the family for your loss. I could of never imagined that we would lose you so soon after my Pete. The last time I saw you you were so full of life and laughter, as we were talking about flowers and movies. I will miss talking to you and how you would be talking to me in English and then start talking to me in spanish and how i would have to remind you that i don't speak spanish. Thank you for always making me feel so welcomed . You will truly be missed.  Love you always. Debra A. Telles

May sincere and heart felt condolences go out to all of you, Lupe was one of sweetest person I know, she will definitely be missed by many who knew her.  May the good Lord embrace all of you in this difficult time and always.

First n foremost, my condolences to my cousins, Tia’s & Tio.
Tia Lupe, I never told you (because I didn’t think to) but thank you Tia. Thank you so much for caring for my mom (Patricia). You were there with her the whole time at chemotherapy. Tia, I am so grateful my mom was not alone and she had you.
I never would have imagined that the last time we spoke on the phone would be our last. Love you Tia Lupe. Gracias por su bendiciones y amor. I’m gonna miss you...💔 Your laugh was epic. 😭
