My sincerest condolences to all the family. Lupe and I went to Martin High together and were in touch recently but never could get together at the same time to go to the hill country. He was very proud and happy of the ranch that his daughter and son in law had near Utopia. We will miss you pal. You Were always a stand up guy!
We pray your hearts are comforted and your minds at peace through this time of loss. May the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be yours in abundance. We look forward to your return home. Prayerfully, Mark and Carrie

We pray for strength and courage during this difficult time. Sincerely, Mrs. Kramer, Betty Johndavid and Walter III(Gogi)

To the Bazan Family - Please accept my humble condolence in the passing of your beloved one, Antonio Guadalupe Bazan. Lupe, as he was known to all his High School friends at Martin High, was a sincere and honest individual who was always thinking of his fellow men and wanted the absolute best for them. This type of attitude towards life led him to be a very gentle and fine person who was liked by everybody in his social circle. He will always be remembered by his family and friends. May beautiful memories sustain you, and may you be comforted by the thoughts of others who share this sorrow with you. Know that he is in the kingdom of God where his soul will live forever.

On behalf of my father, Juan Linares, and the entire Linares family, we would like to extend our condolences to the Bazan family. Lupe Bazan was a good friend and confidante to my Dad. As a matter of fact, my Dad referred to him as his best friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
My heart goes out to the family members of this wonderful man. I have heard many a good story about his life. I hope the pain of this disparted father, grandfather and beloved figure, will go away soon, only leaving the good times alive. Mari, I hope you will remember him as he was before, all his adventures and the knife cases he made. By the way I never got one. May the Lord be with you and your lovely family. Your friend and co-worker, Dorothy
