Theresa and Family, My dearest and deepest condolences on the passing of your loving husband Jimmy. It has been a few months since we last spoke and I was happy that both Joe and Jimmy were able to see each other and share conversations about their illnesses and give themselves hope and support when they last saw each other. He has reached his forever home like Joe used to say and he is now at rest. May God bless you and your family and bring you comfort and peace in the days ahead. May you feel God's presence working within you always.

On behalf of the large Lopez family, close neighbors to the Roybals growing up in Santa Cruz, I wish to express our deepest condolences to Jimmy's immediate and extended family. I personally have fond memories of when Jim, Eloy and Esther would come over to our house to play baseball, hide and go seek, kick ball and other games, or we would go over to their place. We are saddened to know that Jimmy has left this world. Que en paz descanse.

Theresa, Jeff, Larry, Mark, Daniel, Eloy, and Family; our condolences on the passing of your beloved Jimmy.
He was our life long friend, classmate and brother. While our life journeys separated us for many years it was a blessing to reconnect with Jimmy as he made his final stand against this terrible illness. During this latter time period we visited and reminisced of wonderful past times and details of our adult lives. Our frequent telephone calls were joyful and our recollection of events and people dating back sixty years was amazing. We will not soon forget our dear friend and brother.
May Jimmy (Juria) Rest In Peace and may this fact bring you solace. Con mucho cariño, Shirley and Gilbert (Nacho)
