Reyes has a quiet presence and prays for strength along with church members and his mother, Sandra Reyes Vizcarra. “I am so touched and thankful to be here today. I’m glad my husband thought of his son and me when he has a lot to think about,” says Sandra after her prayer, “I am thankful, but this all still hurts.” Sandra and her son have been away from their incarcerated family member since 2016, “God is telling me to continue to be patient, he sees my love for him and my son and husband,” says Sandra, “I hope my husband changes when he gets out, I pray for my family.” Credit: JULIE LEOPO, Voice of OC
