Maria Guadalupe

"Lupita" Valdez

Maria Guadalupe "Lupita" Valdez, age 94,

God saw you getting tired and weak so he put his arms around you and whispered "Come to Me". With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating and is at rest now. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. – Author Unknown
