To Ate PI and her kids, I was fortunate to drop by your home in Houston last November 2001 and on my way back from Mississippi in March of 2002. It just seem like a calling that I had the chance to meet with Kong Rely at that time. I was lucky enough to spend some quality time with my dear cousin. All I know, I will miss him

I will miss you ninong Rely, you were a great uncle and loving father and you will be forever missed. At least I know you will be up there with Grandpa watching over us...

I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to know a great man of integrity, honesty, compassion, kindness, and faith. Rey, I will forever remember with love and gratitude the gesture you had to pray for me. God knows how much I needed your prayers. You never told me until I found out this year. May your soul rest in peace in God's kingdom.
