Merced was a loving mother who raised her children and grandchildren. She was beautiful inside and out, a strong and creative woman; a devoted Christian mother who love all of her children equally. She loved to read religious books and learn about all the saints. Merced loved being outdoors, planting, raking and taking care of her roses, flowers and newly added cherry blossom and weeping willow tree. She loved to act silly, make people laugh, and loved company from family members. Merced was a peace maker, she wanted all of her sons and daughters to get along and help one another. A Libran quote, “A Libran’s home is a place of love and laugher, with people coming and going, stopping for tea and a chat . . . they love to talk and communicate. However, because they have such a highly developed sense of morality, they do not allow themselves to be connected to anyone or anything they consider distasteful.” She was a warrior.
