Aunt Lupe: I will have you always in my heart. I see you happy on the other side, cooking for al those who where there to greet you. I cannot be there to wish you good journey. But I am there in my heart. I love you and will miss you. But I have a great memory of your good cooking!!
I didn’t have the priviledge of meeting Nick or Lupe a long time ago. Actually, I met Nick at the River Side Cafe, introduced by Paul Cohlmia, the owner. He knew of my unquenchabe thirst of matters pertaining to World War II. Meeting Nick, the valant warrior of the invasion of Sicily and throughout the remainder of the war was a absolute lighlight in relationship with studying the history of terrible conflict. He provided me with a treasured opportuinituy of being there first hand by his words, yet in his humble way, played down his individual heriocs or of being wounded and held captive by the Germans only to escape their menacing ways. Those who could get Nick to talk came away with the impression that there was so much more to this giant of a man serving his country. Later, I began to work with Medicine Shoppe as a delivery driver and started delivering medicine to both he and his wife. Initially the were being charged them a minimal delivery fee. I asked the owner, Ricky Tejeda if we could give this Veteran a break. He, being a staunch admirer of the United States Marines, immediately agreed that this vet should not pay the fee. About six to eight months ago, Nick passed away but we continued to deliver Guadalupe’s meds on a regular basis. I became fast friends of their dog Chico, and got to know Laura and her husband who were looking after her in her later months. I will always feel that I was blessed to have had this once in a life time pleasure and experience having met this terrific couple at 411 Avenue C.
