Love our family parties with sweet Titi Prisi

Mi Prisci.. 
Mi Amada hermana, en el cielo estás caminando por las calles de oro con tu amado hijo Edwin, con mami, tu mamá que tanto cuidastes a mí, y a tus hijos Edwin y Wilfred y nadie como tú para querer tanto a todos tus hermanos y hermanas y a todo el resto de la familia. Y sin dejar atrás a tu Caleb, tu único nieto que amaste con locura. Te extraño y te extrañé mientras viva y por siempre te llevaré en mi corazón. Fuistes el timón de la familia en todo el sentido. En tu memoria estos recuerdos plasmados en fotos. Descansa en Paz y pronto nos volveremos a ver.. Te ama por siempre Letty.. tu hermanita más pequeña. 
Leticia Alvarado (Tití Leti)

My Prisci..
My Beloved sister, in heaven you are walking through the streets of gold with your beloved son Edwin, with mommy, your mother who took so much care of me, and your children Edwin and Wilfred. No one, like you, can love all your brothers and sisters, and all the rest of the family so much. And without leaving behind your Caleb, your only grandson who you loved madly. I miss you and will miss you as long as I live, and I will always carry you in my heart. You were the helm of the family in every sense. In your memory, these moments are captured in these photos. Rest in Peace and soon we will see each other again... Letty loves you forever... your littlest sister.

My precious titi Prisi, you were the shining star of our family always took care of us no matter how difficult it would be at times.  All the family gatherings for all holidays I hold dear and close to my heart. There’s so many memories of our times together (I think I would be able to write a book). Even the times we would all go to Disney world or the time in Tennessee when we all gathered and white water rafting; you were a warrior. Or even the time that we were at your place and the guys were going to get a movie and we place the pizza in the oven and forget to pilot light the oven and you ran of course I ran after you not to light it. Well we both got blown out of kitchen. Thank God we were ok. We will always love you and cherish those memories.

My beloved grandaunt, Titi Prisci, was a pillar of strength, independence, and boundless care. Every weekend, she warmly opened her home to our family, filling it with the irresistible aroma of her incredible Puerto Rican cuisine. As a little girl, watching her cook was a joy. I remember her having little treasures for me in her pantry that always brought a smile to my face.
The memories of spending time in her home is etched into my heart—gathering around her table for fun and laughter, sitting on her front porch as we watched Cubs fans pour into Wrigley Field, and playing in her backyard while all the grown-ups talked for hours and trying to crack the nuts she’d leave in a bowl on her end table were simple pleasures. Titi Prisci's unwavering care and love embraced everyone she touched. She raised two young men with grace and strength. She gave help to everyone never asking for anything in return. She was the heart of our family, bringing us all together with her generosity and warmth.
Even when she traveled to our home in the ‘burbs, we knew she'd arrive with her incredible food, ready to share and spread joy.
We love you, Titi Prisci, and your memory will forever be a source of love and unity in our family. My heart goes out and I send prayers.

Te amo por siempre,
Lisette “Lissy”

Sisters together again for a little visit at Titi Prisci's place in Chicago. We learned how to be good sisters from the best role models.

A wonderful Thanksgiving with the family when we visited the Chicago area in Nov. 2014

Prisi and mom at Mikie's house in Illinois.

My dear auntie,
I always looked forward to your visits. You always were so generous to all of us.  
You are to me the best alcapurria maker ever.
I thought of you as my second mom. You will be missed dearly and I will always treasure your visits with us , made my mom very happy to see you.
Rest in peace my sweet auntie.

Priscilla you are best aunt a guy could ask for. So many of my warmest childhood memories ring out with the echo of your joyous laughter. Thank you for all the caring and kindness you gave my brothers and I. You will be loved always.

Although we did not know Priscilla, we know she raised a prince of a son in Will Mercado. And no doubt in her other children as well. What greater achievement can there be in life. Our thoughts and prayers are with Priscilla and her family. And our love and support go out to Will and Cheri.
