My Yokie, I never met someone more caring, more giving, more loving than Yokie. She has been taking care of me since she met me, that's just the kind of person Yokie was. You never had to ask she just did it, whether you wanted her to or not. Yokie smiled through all her pain, and laughed through all her tears. Yokie was a remarkable woman. She has never been more proud of her children, she carried them in everything she did. Yokie and often shared long car rides in "bertha", where we had great conversations, Yokie shared my world. She worried about me, cooked for me, she gave me great advice, Yokie was very much a mom to me. I will miss her dearly and take a part of her advice with me everywhere I go.

There are no words great enough to express my gratitude to have known and been a friend and co worker of Yokie. She has been an angel through the years in so many ways. I know God will keep her safe "in the palms of His hands".
