Even though we have the promise of Jehovah to see you soon.  It's been so darn hard to keep on life without you in our lives seeing you.  I go and visit every other Saturday because I have been busy in a room that I added to the house.  You would of been so proud of me.  Sometime I think why did you have to leave us so soon.  I'm glad that Arlene and I did so much for you while you were alive to enjoy it.

Lydia,
We went by your house yesterday and we saw pops and he was so sad missing you every day. We took him to a Puerto Rican side of the road eatery and he was happy because we ate acapuria which reminded him of being in Puerto Rico. Just thinking how much you would have love being there with us and enjoying all of our favorites foods. Today's Watchtower reminded us who would be the first person we would like to see when Jehovah wakes up all his faithful from the tombs and your son said proudly "My Mom".  We miss you and love you and will always have you in our memories. Your daughter in law.

Mom I visit you the other day and I know that you can't hear me, but I will see you some and tell even more that I missed you and love you.  It was pretty hard to let you go then, but it's even harder to support your absents.  May Jehovah have you in his book of life and return you back to all of us.  Love You Mami

Every 2-3 weeks it hits me that I can't just drop by her place because she won't be there for me-as she ALWAYS has been there for me. I don't remember every being told I was talking too much-with her

Uhhhh this is so hard! Miss her so much! Wish I/we could've saved her somehow! It all just happened so fast!

Lydia  you will truly be missed I will miss your smile your laugh your everlasting love for everyone no matter who they were your zeal for Jehovah's kingdom to teach others his word his promise to everyone that's why I know that Jehovah has you in his memory and I'm looking forward to one day seeing you again with us your family.  Love you . Arlene

Mami I miss you and this love now has a void. Even though we are seperated by death I continue to feel sorrow, and miss you immensly. I would have traded my place for yours anytime in death. You tought me to release the inner pain and make peace with life as you always done.

My beautiful mother - how I love you and how you were always there for me despite your own struggles with health.  The many talks and encouragements we had throughout the years that helped me so much and made me strong - in reality like you :) What a blessing from Jehovah that I have to be able to see you again.

My Grandmother was unique with all of her quirks and phrases. She brought a light to our lives that reminded us that family is the most important thing. She loved her kids and all of her grandchildren. I love you Abuelita with all of my heart.

My condolences to Jose and all the Mercado family, it was an absolute privilege to have known Abuelita and see where my wife got a lot of her good qualities, especially her zeal for our God Jehovah! 
I can't wait to be able to see her face and my wife and daughter faces when they see each other again, and I know they will because that's what Jehovah our Heavenly Father has promised us!

Abuelita, gave us a special love you can only get from a grandparent. She loved us all so dearly and cared for us each in her own special way.  I am thankful to have had Abuelita to take care of me and love me. I will cherish all of the lovely memories she gave. Now...Paradise awaits.

Conosco a los Mercados desde los 60's. Mi esposa y yo sentimo mucho la muerte de Lydia. José y un servidor nos bautizamos como "Testigos" 12/25/1966 en Philadelphia, Pa.  Siempre los recordaré.

Yvonne and family...you are in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.  It's okay to weep and to miss your mom, but hold close to those sweet memories of her.

Mom I didn't have words to express how much I'm going to miss you because you left us so suddenly.  You were are great mom and still are in our hearts and mind. Great example for all four of your children in how to serve Jehovah as a priority in life, and how to become what we are now.  Great parents like you always be to us.  I love so much mom.

My lovely Mother, a Women with hardly any floss, in her which care about her children's, as well as her gandkids and her family well-being..she as my Mother will all ways have a part in my hart.

The light, love, and abundance of motherly care has left us the Mercado famility.
