" For the short two years that I have known Lupe, I have grown to appreciate her for the caring human being that she was in life. No words or actions can describe how sorry I am for her entire family which includes friends and the children she cared for. Including my little boy Nathaniel. She will greatly missed in life but will forever live in our hearts. God has her in His Glory. With love and honor to a wonderful woman. "
