Julietica...the name Mercy so affectionately called me.   Every once in a while she'd tell me... "I know no one calls you by that name and you probably don't like to be called Julietica but I am so used to calling you that, I hope you don't mind".   I would always tell her, "I don't mind".   It was the truth, I really didn't mind at all because she said it with such love.  Mercy had this soothing voice and such a soothing presence about her...always so sweet and thoughtful.   
I will miss your beautiful smile,  your gentle way of talking to me and how you would light up when I mentioned Julio Iglesias.  But most of all Mercy, I will miss your loving way of calling me "Julietica".   

You were always like a mother to me and we always understood each other. Being with you to the end and trying to make you as comfortable as possible till the end is nothing more than any son would do for his mother … I love you I’ll miss you and I’ll see you again , the preferred one ricky ….. 

Mercy I was saddened to hear of your mother's passing.  My condolences to you and your family.  I  still remember when we would pick you up in N Miami to go out and your mom would wait up for you until you got home. Your mother was such a beautiful woman, always perfectly made up. I loved visiting you because you would always include her if we were going to eat or at least pass by to see her.
Mima, know that your mother felt she was loved and cared for until her last breath.  I will miss her. I always sent Julio Iglesias memes to her and she would always reply "El Mejor!"
Her presence will always be near her loved ones.  God blessed her so much with such a beautiful family; even being a Great Grandmother to Olivia.
Rejoice knowing she's no longer in pain and our faith assures us we will be reunited 🙏 💖

Having been my piano teacher for more than 10, years, she was like a second grandma to me as she will always tell me. I have missed her lessons since her retirement, and she will always be in my prayers and heart. I will treasure her and her talent for what she has taught me. She was a beautiful person inside and out & told me countless stories about her travels from Cuba with her beloved husband, Enrique. May she Rest In Peace, next to her husband. My condolences to her family.

My beautiful mother, I was always so excited to pick you up on the weekends and take you, out when you moved in with me it was amazing , when you started going down it was hard … a little story I will never forget when we lived in New York and got home from school she would give me money to buy candy and toys one day I cane home with a broken toy and she said to me go back get your money back or fight for one that’s not broken I did that and that’s how I became strong in life  one of many,   she was a beautiful woman an amazing mother , my heart is torn apart I will miss you so much … you are always be  in my heart and my soul I will pass on all the beautiful things you taught me to my daughter and granddaughter … will love you forever my sweet mom .  RIP 



Jorge/Mima : I share your grief  and although 
I am so sad for your loss please take  solace in the fact that she is no longer in pain. 
In some ways she was a part time Mom to me and I will always cherish those summers spent in your house and those dinners at the Mai Kai etc and tolerating all the nonsense that we got into.
I am so happy I got to see her a few weeks ago and we laughed when we both said her famous line to me about “when you see rain close the window”.  May she be at peace and  I will always love and honor her memory.





Some people are blood related and some are family through the love, respect and years of memories they share! I know Mima, George  and her family for over 50 years! They’re family moved 3 doors away from where I lived on Judge St. we became best friends at the age of about 8 and our birthdays are 2 days apart!!! Our favorite thing was to play school when we hung out in her house. Mima was always the teacher!! Her mom would come in and ask us if we wanted a hot dog. It was the first time I had seen  anyone put ketchup on a hotdog. I asked her mom if she had mustard they looked at me like I was crazy. This is where I got my love of Cuban food and learned a lot Spanish curses. Next time mom  asked us if we wanted a hotdog she told me she had bought mustard for me.   She always had it for me after that! She was such a loving and caring mom!!  She’ll always be in my heart and memories! Rest In Peace my Cuban mom!! 

“Como la voy a estranar,me corregías mi español,en Facebook,hablábamos por teléfono compartimos alegrias y penas.y no me gusto tu foto ,en face book y te borre las arugitas  y esta es la prueba mi linda maestra.en paz descanse.

Mercy and I have been friends for 5 years and whenever Mercy stopped by my house she would tell me she only has a few moments. She was going over to pick up her mom for a luncheon or for breakfast or to take her to church or shopping. Not a weekend went but was Mercy spending time with her mother. What a selfless loving commitment she would do to take her mom to places she enjoyed. There is nothing like a mother and daughter bond. Such blessings that form beautiful memories. May ur Peace in Heaven sign down on us all Mercedes. 

Jorge, Mima and familia,
I am so very sorry for your huge loss.  She was a lovely, classy, intelligent woman.  Sweet and caring and all for her family.  You are all so lucky to have had such greatness in your lives.  May she rest in loving peace and may her memory always bring a smile to your lips.

Love,
Liz 

Mi madre es mi viejita linda de blanca cabellera,
que tiene a flor de labios
un gesto de perdón.
Cuando tras larga ausencia regreso ella me espera,
me abraza como a un niño,
me besa con pasión.
Que suerte he tenido en tener una madre tan buena que su vida nos a dado 
En mi corazón siempre la tengo a mi lado
Mi viejita linda perdón te pido por a verte preocupado. Sabes lo que te quiero y lo mucho que te e amado.  Tus oraciones alumbran el cielo. Y Dios te escucha y nos mantiene sanos y salvo. Has sido mi maestra que tanto me has enseñado. No hay palabras que describa lo que siento por mi viejita linda pero con esta poesía te doy las gracias por ser quien eres, mi mamita querida. 

Una bella persona Doña Mercy. No tuve el honor de conocerla en persona,pero siempre estaba pendiente de saludar, dar ánimos y apoyar. Descanse en paz. Mis oraciones para su eterno descanso. 

Lo mejor de ti se queda con nosotros !
La sabiduria de como darle solucion a los problemas , la paciencia para aceptar lo que no se puede cambiar , la.musica y el amor eterno a la familia .
