Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do His bidding, who obey His word. – Psalm 103:20 On July 22, 2016 our Heavenly Father gave Pompeya Reyes her angel wings and called her into His Kingdom at the age of 94. She had a peaceful passing and during her final days, she was surrounded with much love from her family and friends in her home in Richardson, TX. She was born April 10, 1922 as the youngest child of 14 to Juan Fajardo and the only child to Soccoro B. Fajardo. She married Francisco Reyes on October 3, 1943, and they were together for over 50 years. They dedicated their lives to raising 7 children, and enjoyed spending time with their family and traveling as a couple. She was an amazing, God fearing woman who had a zest for life. She also had a talent for music and loved to play the piano as well as sing. She spent her later years continuing to maintain strength in her faith in God through dedication to prayer and following in the footsteps of Christ.
