Our condolences to the Family from the Aguilar/ Mercado family my thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.
My wela was the sweetest, most loving woman on Earth. She was also the funniest. She was the epitome of selfless, I don’t think I ever saw her do something that wouldn’t benefit others. She shaped me into the woman I am today and I have all these little pieces of myself that I accredit to her. I will miss giggling with her in the corner when a room tensed up. I will miss her maldcions and all her little sayings. I will miss driving away and seeing her bless the car. I will forever hold every memory I have of her close to my heart.Te quiero mucho welita y te voy a extrañar tanto. Gracias por todo.
Mamita dame fuerza para seguir...te quiero y extraño demasiado, siempre fuiste un buen ejemplo para todos, nos diste todo y más I love you ma ❤️🙏🌹

My heart goes out to tio Rene and my cousins during this difficult time. Tia Elodia left beautiful memories that I will always cherish. She was a wonderful cook who made dozens of tamales and bunuelos during Christmas time and shared them with family and friends. I will greatly miss her unending love, generosity and kindness. Wishing my cousins and tio much Love and comfort.
Momma, thank you for dedicating your ENTIRE life to us. We are truly blessed to have had you in our lives. Your mischievous ways and sense of humor will be missed more than words could ever say. I love you mom. I’m hurting because a part of me still wanted you to stay a little longer 😞😢💔 but I am happy that I stayed with you when you most needed me. Until we meet again momma ❤️ PS— I know the showers we just received were because you probably are cleaning up there in heaven!
My deepest condolences. I remember when I was a young girl you were so kind to all of us. You will be greatly missed. Tia my you rest in peace.
