Words are not enough to express the deep sorrow that we feel because he was a warrior of faith and has left a huge void in the hearts of the body of Christ, his family and loved ones. Elder Roybal was a man who had great love for all, first and foremost for his God, The Lord Jesus Christ. He finished his course with joy in his heart, a praise on his lips, and with tired hands raised in worship to his GOD. We miss his prayers already!! Heaven is rejoicing to have this true saint of God come home! Our hearts weep because we miss him but in a little while we will all rejoice in heaven together in God’s glorious and marvelous light! Truly this is heaven’s gain.
