Rey you were a very special person I will never forget the times we shared at Matagorda and Garner State Park. You were the kind of person that impacted peoples lives without ever trying to.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Thank you for catering our wedding almost 14 years ago.  The BBQ was amazing.  I always enjoyed getting to visit with you at all the Pena get togethers.  You always had a huge smile and hug for everyone.  Your laughter was contagious.  You made everyone feel like family.  You will be deeply missed!  My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to all the family.
