"Primo, it saddens my heart to hear of you passing. Through thick or thin we have shared so many crazy and wild memories. Remember the times we would go to Orange Cove and enter the three wheel low rider bike at the car shows with cuz Rey, I flew from Texas just in time for your wedding,what a great time. Cruising on the 66 when it got the motor built and painted, the so many family events at mooney grove, avocado lake and the ocean. What great times, we all had growing up primo I will miss you, but will keep your memory alive by sharing some of these stories at family gathering. Say hello to our love ones and the homies we grew up with. Big Hug and much Love & Respect . J.Carlos Herrera P.S. Remember playing football at Jefferson school, crazy times!"

"PSALM 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. We love & miss you Brother Ruben. You have gone to be with our baby Brother Fidel, together you are enjoying the peace and love of our Heavenly Father. We will cry tears of joy because you have made it to the promised land where He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away. Your Brother, Reynaldo Herevia Jr."
