To the Gerardo Reyna family, Artemio Reyna and family, Ray Nieves and family, we send our love to you all.

Words seem so useless at a time like this, but our members and friends had to let you know how much we hurt with you. It's hard for us to understand how Gerardo's suffering has now turned into a time of celebration and joy for him now that he's in the land of "no more pain and no more tears."

May a lifetime of wonderful memories give strength to you all in the days ahead. May God place Gerardo among his righteous, and grant you strength at this time of sorrow.

From all our members and friends from
GOOD FRIENDS FROM INDIANA HARBOR please accept our deepest sympathy.

Ray Reyna, President
