Mrs. Rea, Joe & Family,
Kelli & I were deeply saddened to hear Mr. Rea had passed away.
He will be missed on Softball Fields all across San Antonio.
Whenever Joe & I played together and he was in the audience, I could always count on him to pick on me.
Although he was always there to share his expertise of the game with us. I felt my time around him made me a better player and person on & off of the field.
Mrs. Rea, I want to Thank You & Mr. Rea for sharing your lives with me while Joe & I were in High School. Those were some cherished moments I will always keep in my Mine & Heart, as You All always made me feel like a part of your family.
We all know now that Mr. Rea is now in the Lord's Comforting Arms, Heavenly Home & on His Softball Team.
Our Thoughts & Prayers are with You All, especially with Mr. Rea's sudden departure.
You All Keep Your Heads Up & Be There for One Another.

My heart is heavy today; but I can still take comfort in the fact that I can approach your throne of grace with confidence on behalf of my family (my, parents, uncles, aunties, siblings and cousins) and all who Uncle JOE loved. We are all overwhelmed with feelings of loss and despair as we deal with Uncle JOE'S sudden death. We are haunted by questions of "why" and "what if." We may never know the answers to our questions on this side of heaven, but we can be sure of this: You are the sovereign God. You are a God of compassion and love. You always do what is right. We can throw all of our questions and our suffering at your feet. You can handle our intense emotions: our despair, our anger, our confusion, our grief. You are fully acquainted with grief because you suffered greatly as you allowed your precious Son to suffer and die on the cross in payment for our sins. However, we know that you will provide healing for us. Healing of our hearts, minds, souls, and bodies. A healing that will make us understand the passing of such an ideal son, a great brother, an outstanding uncle and a true servant of yours, who have served you passionately for a very long time. Uncle I will miss you. Love always mike C.
