Always in my heart.  Always thankful. 
Fly high my friend...

It is sad that only today I found out about my dear friend, Eggie. I retired from Mercy 2 yrs ago and regret  not knowing this.

What a wonderful person, caring physician  dedicated father and husband! 
He was always jovial and loved to hear  my Trinidad jokes. 

May Allah bless Eggie, Brenda and the kids.

I was so sad to hear that Dr. Reyes - Ayala passed away.  He was my physician since I moved to Miami in 2009.  He was always so kind and had such a caring demeanor.  I will miss him.   May he rest in peace in heaven.

I am deeply saddened to hear about Edgardo's passing. He was a special patient for so many years, and I will truly miss our wonderful conversations, his kindness, and the way he always spoke with such love and joy about his family. May his memory be a blessing.

I owe my life to Dr. Reyes-Ayala. He kept talking to me about my elevated PSA and I finally sought testing. Sure enough I had prostate cancer, but it was caught early and I had radiation treatment and I’m now 100% Cancer free because of his care and concern. 

He always shook my hand when I came. I will always remember him as long as I live

I am deeply saddened by the passing of my friend and physician. Aside from being an excellent and caring physician, he was an amazing father to his son and daughter and a wonderful son. 
His family should be so proud of him and his legacy. 
What began as a patient, physician relationship evolved into a kindred friendship. I pray that the Lord keep and console his family. 
May Edgar rest in peace in His Kingdom.

Dr Reyes Ayala, hoy me enteré con mucho dolor que has ido a descansar en paz.

Fuiste mi doctor por alrededor de 16 años. Siempre era alegre ir a tus citas. Carismático, alegre, chistoso, siempre preguntabas por la esposa y los niños. 

Nunca estabas con apuro, se te notaba el interés en escucharnos. Es increíble, la vida es frágil. 

Espero que tu familia tenga paz en todos los buenos recuerdos vividos…

My condolences to the family of Dr Reyes Ayala.  
I just found out today….September 12.  That he passed away. He has been my doctor for over 20 years.  He was my son’s,doctor once he was old enough to be seen by a regular doctor.  He was my Grandmother’s doctor, my Mom’s doctor,   My 2 ex husband’s doctor.  He basically knew my whole family and trials and tribulations.  
Truly will be missed in our life, as he was a very social, friendly, empathetic Doctor who cared about everyone and made everyone feel comfortable and at ease with him.  I trusted him 100% .
May he rest in peace and watch over us from above.

My condolences to a great person. I always envisioned him as my family's primare care physician for many years from now as we would see him as a friend. 
Always with a great energy and a fully transparent person. 
His departure has been really hard for me and my wife. 
We just knew. 
I'll always be thankful for him being in my life. 
Thank you. 
Dayron Torres.

Reyes-Ayala family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Dr. Reyes-Ayala was my doctor for the last 5 years. I just saw him in June and am shocked to hear this sad news. He was an incredible physican, always compassionate and caring.  May he rest in eternal peace.
My sincere condolences. 
Goldie Zayas

Our beloved Dr. Ayala was more than our family doctor — he was part of our lives for over 25 years. We were so saddened to learn of his passing and send our heartfelt condolences to his children and loved ones.

What we will always treasure is his radiant smile and the way he embraced our family with warmth and kindness. He had a rare gift for making every patient feel seen and cared for, treating my parents as if they were his own. His compassion and gentle presence left an imprint on all of us, and his absence will be felt profoundly.

With love and gratitude,
The Loh Family

Dear Ed,

Although I didn't know you for long, you were more than my doctor- you were my friend. A visit with you wasn't just that- it was a chat between friends.

this one time- I had just left your office after a visit, and, since I had a blood test to check my vitals (I had high cholesterol back then), I stopped at the hospital cafeteria, and ordered a coffee and a croissant. As soon as I took the first bite, a voice behind me said "that's LITERALLY what you're not supposed to be doing!" I turned back, with the croissant still in my mouth, and he was right there, smiling, with that big smile that always characterized him. We both laughed, and I told him it wouldn't happen again.

I will miss you terribly. 

Especially every time I eat a croissant.

We are in total shock to learn of his passing! Our wonderful Dr. Edgardo Reyes-Ayala MD. He was a very dedicated and understanding  person and it will be difficult to understand how such a good person was taken so soon. He was very comforting to me and my family when my own mom passed away one year ago. Rest in Peace dear “Doc”, you will always be in my heart. ❤️ I love you. We just found out today!

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Dr. Reyes passing at such a young age.. He has been my physician for over 20 years and took care of my Mom up until her passing. Dr. Reyes was so knowledgeable, caring and passionate about his patients. 
I saw him in the office just recently and he followed up with a phone call in July.
My sincere condolences to his family and friends.  Saying prayers for them at this most difficult time.  He will be truly missed. May he rest in eternal peace

Dr. Ayala has been our Doctor for 30 years.  Full trust and confidence that he was the best there was to be... I am in total shock and so is my family.  May he rest in peace and I will pray for his family to find peace and resignation from the loss.  He will be forever in our hearts.

A true gentleman, always pleasant, always cordial, always professional, a rare breed in today’s day. My sincere condolences.

To the Family of Dr. Reyes-Ayala

My sincerest sympathies to the Reyes-Ayala family on the passing of such a wonderful man!  He has been my doctor for over 20 years!   I'm still in shock over his passing.    In so many ways he was family to me.   He was a doctor to my father until his passing, was still seeing my mother at 97 years old, and also was a doctor to many more family members.   May he rest in peace, and may the Lord have him in His Glory.   I will truly miss him!

My condolences to the all the family of Dr Reyes Ayala,I have been with him for many years,I was and vacation with my wife when I her the news,so sad may he RIP 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

Dr Reyes Ayala was my Dr for many years. My heart goes out to his family and dear ones. I’m so very sorry that this happened. I saw him last in June on a routine office visit. Hard to accept he left us so young. He was a very good Dr and good human being and  always explained everything to me patiently. He will be greatly missed. May his family and close ones find consolation in their memories of him. With my condolences, Helena Guastella

Sorry to hear this.
He was a great doctor, and a great guy.

In Loving Memory of Dr. Reyes Ayala

It is with profound sorrow that we remember Dr. Reyes Ayala—a remarkable physician, and an even more extraordinary human being. He was truly one of a kind, someone whose presence could touch your soul with nothing more than the warmth of his smile. His kindness was effortless, his compassion boundless, and his ability to make everyone feel like family was a gift that few possess.

Whether you knew him as a colleague, a caregiver, or a friend, the time spent by his side was a blessing. At Doctors Hospital, we will forever cherish the moments we shared with him. His legacy lives on in the lives he healed, the hearts he lifted, and the love he gave so freely.

We have lost a rare soul, and heaven has gained an angel.

To his beloved family, I extend my deepest condolences. May God grant you strength, comfort, and peace during this difficult time. Dr. Ayala’s light will continue to shine through those fortunate enough to know him.

Both my wife and I have been patients of Dr. Ayala for over 15 years.  We are honored to have had the opportunity of him caring for our health.  Our hearts and prayers are with his family.  May the Lord wrap him in his arms.

Our deepest condolences to the family.  We will deeply miss him. Raul and Elsy Martinez, María Cristina Zaldívar.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Eggy Reyes Ayala, a truly remarkable physician and an even more extraordinary human being.

My heart is broken with the news received today when I was looking forward to seeing him next week his smile, laughter and kindness to my entire family that has always been under his care will be missed by all. My deepest condolence to the entire family.

He always had that terrific smile.  As a colleague, he was a tremendous help in caring for my surgical patients.  I will miss my time that I spent with him including sitting in the Physicians Dining Room or at the Nurses Station and “just shooting the breeze”.  
What a special person! 
Peace.
