A fond memory of time spent together at The Villages.

Dear Harvey and Family,

Mercedes was a bright light: Thoughtful, diplomatic, kind, and generous. We will miss her and grieve right beside you. Please let our community help in any way that we are able. 
Regards,
Lynne Haines

Dear Harvey,

Our hearts are with you.  Mercedes was such a huge part of our lives, and the four of us shared so many unforgettable moments together.

Mercedes’ warmth, her incredible smile, and her unique way of making every moment special will stay with us forever. She may not be physically with us, but we know she’ll always be present—in  the stories we tell and the adventures we share.

The bond between the four of us is something we’ll always cherish. We look forward to times together with Mercedes there in spirit,  sharing in our moments together.

Please know that you are not alone. We’re here for you now and always.

With all our Love,

Mary and Ken

Mercedes and her father Patricio, who adored every moment spent with her. ❤️

Mercedes and Harvey. Always the most beautiful couple 🙂

Here are some older memories.  I always looked forward to your visits and how even in my late forties you still call me “baby bro”.  I love you and will always miss you big sis.

Harvey,
 I still remember when my sister came to introduce us to her fiancée back in 1984.
You were instantly loved and will always be in our hearts.  You will never stop being our family and I look forward to sharing more love and memories of her with you.

Our annual Thanksgiving, long weekend celebration in Valrico!! We always ate too much and always had a good time!

In April 2020 we began a weekly Zoom Happy Hour! We toasted, discussed all the issues of preceeding week, drank, snacked, forgot the weekly issues and told stories. Even though will never he the same and maybe not weekly, we continue our Zoom Happy Hour. Pictured Mercedes and Harvey, Valarie and Bruce, bottom left my brother Tony and bottom right my brother Albie! We were all there for each other during COVID, good and bad times!

Dear Harvey, words cannot fully express the feeling of deep sympathy we have for you on the passing of Mercedes. We have reflected on the very, very special love and relationship you have for each other. We shall always remember her brilliant smile and spirit, her intellect , creativity, care and concern and the joy she brought to others. We feel  privileged to have known her and to have spent so many great times with both of you. She is resting in peace.Love, Nancy and Chuck

This is 4/12/2013. We had tickets for To Kill A Mockingbird in Tampa, 7pm play. We bought tickets months in advance...unbeknownst to us, Bruce's daughter scheduled to be induced at 7PM. So Harvey and Mercedes stayed with us; we went separate ways. They loved the play, we caught in New Orleans. We still had a great time when we were all together!

All of us who knew Mercedes will miss her generous spirit of love and kindness.  Her smile was contagious and her willingness to share with others deeply appreciated.  It is my hope  that her family's faith  is strengthen by the closeness of friends during this most difficult time of loss.

In remembrance

My Dear Cousin Harvey,

There are no words to express my deepest condolences. You are my cousin. Mercedes was my “Cuz”, my girl. My Black Shopping Days Buddy, my sister by choice, my Thanksgiving Dinner Sous Chef!

I am comforted by the memories we made since 2008, yet saddened that we didn’t get the time to do all we wanted.

Yours is a love story. You two had so much joy together. You have memories to last a lifetime. You know how much Mercedes adored you, Harvey. I know more, how much you adored her. That will always be.

None of us is promised tomorrow. Mercedes will be forever missed!

She had a helluva ride. She did it her way. She created friendships and memories in every room she entered.

We are here for you always!

On behalf of all our family, Rashad, Katrina, Belinda, Monica, grands, great grand and all the friends you both made here during all the Thanksgivings we shared, we extend our deepest sympathies.

Our unwavering support,

Love, Bruce and Valarie
