Yolanda was a wonderful neighbor and friend to me and I will miss our talks out in the front yard. I called on her many times to help me with one thing or another and she was always there. A very kind and caring friend who will be dearly missed by so many in the neighborhood. My most sincere condolences to Sonia, Steve and Michael and all her family. Heaven just gained a special angel!
She was a beautiful human being i knew her since elementary grade. She quided and educated her children on school and faith. She will be greatly missed but i know the lord has plans for her in heaven.
