Happy Birthday Dad. Having coffee in your cup today. Sorry, no Maxwell. XO

13 years. Hard to comprehend. You'll be in my thoughts and heart forever and feeling you are always near. We'll be at the shore next week, the week of Aug. 15. I'm not sure I'm up to boogie boarding even though I'm 65 compared to your 80. If we cook it will you come?

Happy Birthday Dad! We still have our Christmas tree up and plan to take it down like we always did. I miss you. Yet glad you’re not here for this pandemic.

Christmas is past for this year. Uncle Reyes and Aunt Ruth always made it special!! I have many counted-cross stitch Christmas wall pieces from Aunt Ruth. I love them. Of course I have my Uncle Reyes's carving and Branum and Bailey hat!!! Remember the Choctaw Indian conversations with Aunt Ruth rolling her eyes. Their present was always the first one I opened as Aunt Ruth did such a great job shopping and knowing my sweet spot for the year. I liked the holidays because Reyes was around more than usual! Carry the spirit of these kind, loving, generous, hard working, and vibrant souls. Also, happy they are not here for the pandemic and 45.

Happy Birthday Grandpa. I miss you!

Hey Reyes and Ruth, we LOVE & MISS you guys!!! I'm so thankful I have Reyes Art and Ruth Holy Stuff she would always give as a reminder!!!!!

Hey Dad,
Have to say I'm glad You and mom aren't around for this pandemic and our asshole of a president (not my president). Love you.

Happy Birthday Dad. The Christmas tree is still up in your honor. Keeping up the family tradition. Love you.

Think of you all the time Grandpa, love you❤️

I celebrate all the care that Colleen gave to my Uncle Reyes during his final days. Colleen is a rock star. Uncle Reyes lived an exemplary life. I am glad he is not here today to see what our country, for which he fought, has become. Love to all who knew Reyes and thanks for helping to recollect him. Judy

PS - See the photo I added to the gallery. These are two of my favorite possessions, both gifts from Reyes - hard to say which is my favorite!!!

Cook it & he will come! Happy Fathers Day Dad.

Happy Birthday Dad. You continue to be my strength in facing life’s challenges. I can see your smirky smile and it makes me smile. Love you and miss you. Your loving daughter, Colleen

I was just thinking of you tonight. I miss having tea and oatmeal cookies with you. You made everything special. I love you.

You're still with me all the time. Though I miss being able to see and talk with you. I put out your Maxwell House Coffee mug at brunch today with Erin's family, Ed & Shane. Happy Birthday! I love you, always.

Hey Dad, I miss you. The pain of loss is superseded
with feelings of comfort, happiness and love.

I was thinking of you today. Thought I would write and say that I missed you. I can still hear your voice when you used to sing my name. It makes me smile.

Happy Birthday Dad! I miss you. So much.

Hi Grandpa. I miss you too. Your house isn't the same without you. Grandma hangs in there, but I know she doesn't want to. Probably b/c she keeps saying she'd like to die soon. Ah, Grandma. Have an oatmeal cookie up there for me today. I love you.

Hey Dad,

I miss you. Mom's not happy with her situation. No one is, but doing our best to care for her. She misses you. Why not take her on a date, if you get my drift. I know you do. I can share anything with you. I may miss the Fest this year. A bad tooth. But keeping up your tradition and getting it pulled today. Wish me luck. Your loving daughter, Colleen

Happy Birthday Dad. We miss you so much. If I cook it will you come? haha.

Hi Grandpa. I was over your house today, thinking of you. Grandma and I sat on the porch. It was almost as if I could feel you with the warm breeze. It made me smile. I miss you. I love you - always.

Dear Dad,
I'm here at Fest again. Always thinking of and missing you. My love always, Colleen

Uncle Reyes - Has it really been 5 years!!! I so remember the laughing moments and the years of serious hard work you did. I have one of you birds on my book case where I can see it every day. Have you carved any harps lately.

Happy Birthday Grandpa. I miss you a lot. I will try to remember to play the lottery today for you.

Uncle Reyes - I have one of your birds and my Barnum Bailey circus hat to remind of you. Both have happy places in my bedroom. Miss you. Hugs, Judy

Happy Birthday Dad. I miss you immensely.

HI Grandpa, I miss you so much. I tell my kids stories about you all the time. I also tell my dad he has a lot to live up to being a Grandpa to my kids b/c I had the best one every made. I love you! -Erin

Hey you. Miss you so much. Mom wants you home again. She's ready at any moment to meet you at your new home. She's doing OK though. Much love, your daughter Colleen

I don't know you or your family. I can tell how much you are loved and missed. I just lost my Mother Nov.14 2011 @ 6;10 am.. I miss her so much.My Mom was 89 years old.

So I see where you get your talent at Colleen. I do not have any pictures but after being on this block for 30 years, I miss the front porch group and looking out the window seeing Reyes walk down the street. I am thankful for having known him.

Today we are Celebrating Reyes Life! The years keep going by quickly but I will forever hold the memories I had with Reyes in my heart.
Miss you!
Love Sandy

Hey Dad,

Mom & I miss you. Mom carries the picture of you that's at the top of this page. I've been painting from old family photos and have done one of your mom & sisters. XO

Grandpa,

I think about you all the time. I named my son Carter Reyes, after you. You filled my life with wonderful memories and I'll pass them on to him.  - Erin

Can't believe it's been 2 years, I really miss him, he was such a fun and caring person. I will always remember watching baseball games down at the shore, going down the beach and watching him going into the water like a little kid, and he was in his 80's. Take care, Reyes,

I have sweet memories of Reyes proudly showing off his wooden birds in the workshop in the basement. Calm, quiet and creative.

Condolences to Colleen and the family. You are in my thoughts.
