My sincere condolences to Bernadette and all the Roybal family. I am so sorry for your loss. It was so nice seeing you at Georgia's funeral Bernadette but I was sorry to learn that your dad had also passed away. I found your dad's obituary because you look so much like him with those beautiful eyes and smile. May God comfort you and all Mr. Roybal's loved ones during this difficult time.

Grandpa, you were my #1 Fan in all the years I played ball. I could look up into the stands and know that you'd be there cheering me on. You would always tell me to get an education, because it was important, and I listened. You taught all your grandkids to have respect and how important family is. I will always cherish the bond we had and how you were always there for me, especially when my Mom passed. You knew I was hurting and wanted to make sure I was okay. I would always tell you to come stay with me and you said you wouldn't go unless I had a project for you. Together we thought of a project, and you finally came and stayed with me. It made my heart happy to spend quality time with you. I will forever cherish all the memories we made. Losing you has been hard to cope with and I will keep you tucked away in my heart for as long as I live. Please watch over me and continue to guide me. I love you so much, Gramps.
