To The Jimenez Family,
My name is Eduardo Moncivalles. My mother was Margarita Maldonado.
As a child, I lived at 1623 Saltillo St. across the street from the Jimenez homestead. I played with Jimmy and Eddie Jimenez.
It is with deep regret that you suffer such a loss. May God bless and keep you close.
