To Greg, Jennifer, George, Janeth and family,

May the good Lord comfort you and your family during this time of mourning.

From Carlo, Fe and family

I have many memories of Merlyn and Greg at family gatherings in Gus and Jane’s houses in Edison and Freehold.  What I will  remember the most is her smile.
May you rest in peace Merlyn.
My deepest sympathy to Greg, Jennifer, George, Janeth and the Rivera and Santos families.

I have fond memories of my older brother Boy and I teasing our younger sister Merlyn.  Her brothers always made fun of her especially when she was a teenager.  She was fond of getting dressed up and putting on fishnet stockings.  The brothers use to make fun of her fish net stockings after she put them on.  Then she would cry for some time and take them off.  Then our father would get so mad and yell at us!! So the boys would run away and hide.   Then they found out that whenever the brothers were not looking, she would sneak out of the house wearing fish net stockings!  😝

We will always remember Tita Baby as a good person, a kind and very generous person.   She always looked beautiful and very poised, no matter where she went.  She was organized and very meticulous in what she did.   She was there for her family, her parents especially and brothers and sisters.  We are grateful to have spent many years with her and her family in NJ, especially the Christmas family get togethers year after year!  ❤️

When I first came to the US,  found a job in NJ away from my sisters and parents in VA.   Greg and Merlyn always invited me and my brother Chony over to their house and Merlyn would lavish us with so many delicious dishes so we will not be homesick.   I will always cherish those days.   

May the Lord grant Merlyn eternal peace and my deepest sympathies to Greg and to the Rivera/Santos families.

Merlyn was a great cook! She enjoyed making favorite dishes of her kids, grandkids and of course the love of her life, my cousin Greg. Soft-spoken yet outspoken, she was always true to her feelings and beliefs. She will be missed and fondly remembered. My kids, Jeff, Lisa, Jenni and I will pray for her eternal rest and for her family. 
To Greg, Jennifer, George, Janeth, her grandkids and the Santos Family —-may the happy memories and times you shared with her console you and give you strength to face the sad days ahead. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Godspeed, Merlyn


With our deepest sympathy to your beloved Family - Greg and children …
Rest In Peace Merlyn, you will never be forgotten, we love you so much 💖💕



From : Vic-Lorna & Family


Our thoughts and prayers are with the Rivera family. May Merlyn rest in peace.
