Time passes and memories fade but they do not disappear. To his children: I want to wish you the best, you couldn't have asked for a better father and I couldn't have asked for a better friend. I remember Mike and always will.

I was shocked and saddened to hear that Mike had passed away. My heart goes out to his family. I met him while working at Delano Hospital a long time ago and most recently saw him when he performed my ultrasounds at Joy's in Lindsay. Mike was a special man and I have great respect and admiration for him. The world has lost a good father, son, sibling, and friend. I am so sorry.

Please accept my deepest sympathy for the entire Reyes family. He was a special friend to me from the moment I met him in 1983. I will always remember his laugh and cherish the friendship we had and the moments spent with his family. We've suffered a great loss. He left a phenomenal legacy of true friendship setting a great example for all. My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.
