Local Artist Freddy Platero

Freddy Platero’s trade is literally written into his heritage. The Spanish name Platero actually translates to the word “silversmith’’. Though jewelry making has roots in Freddy’s family history spanning back several generations, he is largely a self-taught craftsman. Freddy’s clients describe him as authentic, professional, heartfelt and fun. Upon reading customer reviews, the warmth and reverence they feel for him is tangible. When clients come to him with their ideas, he thrives on the collaboration and is well known for keeping them involved every step of the way. Freddy specializes in bringing forward his clients’ dreams through his art. When asked where he gets his inspiration, “It’s the customers themselves,” he says. Bringing life to a customer’s concept is the motto Freddy lives by and those words ring true when seeing his quality craftsmanship combined with the unique flair he has for design. Working with Freddy isn’t just a transaction, it’s an experience.

In Loving memory of “Lupe” Lowe

10/22/38-01/9/21 Lupe Lowe, Gallup’s Philanthropist

Her favorite Bible Verse: Acts 20:35 “It’s more blessed to give than receive.” Lupe helped all who spread the LOVE of God! She loved and helped her family and friends. She loved and helped the unloved. She loved and helped the poor, needy, and including love and help to all her favorite animals. Appreciative supporter of all U.S.A. Veterans (her husband served in the U.S. Marines Corps.) And all First Responders were always in her prayers. Her favorite saying: “LOVE TO ALL!” Lupe will be missed by many…especially her smile! Bye for now Lupe, we will meet again soon! Psalms 116 when Lupe arrived at the gates Of heaven, the LORD welcomed her because She loved HIM sooo much and followed HIM! Ohhh we can only imagine all the LOVE around her now! Welcome Home Lupe! A true servant of the LORD!
