My sincerest sympathies during this difficult time. Tina was one of the first people that I met in Corpus Christi, after I joined Dr. Garcia's practice. Through the years, as I got to know her, she proved to be a fantastic employee, loyal and honest. Very knowledgeable about her field. . More than that she was a friend.
She will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers to the Reyes family.

Tina had so many prayers for all who asked for them and offered, even when we didn't ask for them. The beginning of her prayers started with “Father God”, these words will eternally stay with us. For this we say “Thank you”, “You were heaven sent” and “you will always be in our hearts and minds”.
May peace and love surround you all and happy memories remain, so you may heal quickly during this time of grieving.
Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
Matthew 5:4
Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted.
