My most sincere condolences and prayers to Mrs. Santistevan, Margo, Michelle and Mark and the whole extended family. I just found out that Mrs. Roybal passed a couple of weeks ago, and to loose a second treasured family member so soon must be devastating. I will keep all of you in my prayers. Remember, as Christians we believe that "to be absent in the body is to be one with the Lord." G. Greg Valdez
