Rudy and kids I just happened to think of her and I searched the internet like she might have done. I am so very sorry she is gone, she was a light in this world. I worked with her at Stautzenberger in the mid 80s, she was smart and quick witted and always made me laugh. She tried to teach me how to make Mole at your house which I failed badly doing on my own :). I think it was Sondra´s wonderful wedding several of us attended, and the family made the most delicious meal and welcomed us like part of the family. Thank you for letting her light shine on my world, always good memories. Hugs to everyone. Amy Downing

Another Kmart buddy looking for the blue light special in heaven. Lupe was such a fun person to work with. Always smiling and joking around while working hard. It was the mid 70's and we had a great group of people at ol Kmart 9096. I send my sincere sympathy to all her loved ones. May you find peace in the good memories. It's strange, I was thinking about her just last week.
