We are saddened by your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Please accept our condolences, so sorry for your loss. Prayers for family.
Reyes I love you. We will miss you dearly. Please rest in peace and know that everything is going to be alright.
Reyes was a very quiet man but when he had enough you knew it. You did not want to go in the room when he called you. Me and Virginia were always ready to put the cup to the wall to listen in.
I am so sorry for your loss. Although we didn’t work together at the same building. I have fond memories of Rey and Flo. Prayers for the family.
I woke up this morning thinking man I can’t believe my grandfather is gone. It really does hurt to know I won’t be able to see him again…I remember talking to my uncle ray and I told him one day that I thought my grandfather didn’t love me…(I was just in one of those moods) and he pretty much told me that “how in the world could you think that….do you not remember when he would take you fishing and when you would get stuck in the mud he rescued you lol…but more importantly when you was so sick and in the hospital he never left your side”…and thinking real hard I do remember being so young and being comforted by the fact that my grandfather was there rocking me to sleep and he didn’t leave my side ever! Then my uncle continued with “grandpa was dissapointed with some of the decisions you made but he doesn’t hate u he wanted better for you”…now that’s what you call a father…there’s really no need to put grand in front of there other then to describe the type of father he was…I’m gonna miss you grandpa and all the stories you would tell me. I love you may you rest in peace and continue to look down upon us telling those angels some stories.
Love,
Emily

Buenos Tardes, Como Estas? Mellamo Beulah (La La) Alaffia Hepzibah. Senora Trinidad es mi Amiga” I really love and support this woman of God. Senor Reyes is resting with Jesus. He did what he was supposed to do. Now it’s our turn to make a decision. Jesus said, behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone let me in, I will come and sup with him; Choose ye this day whom ye will serve. Jesus is on his way back to take up his church from out of the fealth, and evil of this world. We are without excuse on judgement day” Time is shorter than we think. Apostle Paul says, Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand, and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus. I hope to see you all up there. Make God, and your Papa Reyes proud. Ask Jesus the real Christ into your heart today, Adios’Amen
