Vidal Merced-Torres Memoriam

The Family of
Vidal J. Merced-Torres
A Letter Of Thank You
& Gratitude

These past few weeks has been a true challenge for my family and I, struggling with the Why's, How Come's, and What's to come for us, dealing with our lose. My gratitude comes from the overwhelming love and support so many of you have shown & continue to show us by ways of phone calls, text messages, and personal visits. Our healing process has begun in a smoother transition due to the loving, caring, and heartfelt words we received from all of you. The loss of a best friend, brother, grandson, son, cousin, father, and husband all in one individual is the most difficult part of this situation. Although the void left in our lives by our loss will continue to be filled from your continued love and support, there is one piece we know can never be filled but we promise that his legacy and love will continue through us as we honor him in this way. So in ending we Thank You All for everything and please continue to keep us in your prayers.

Love, Omayra Torres
and Family
