My darling friend, my heart still aches for your friendship, kindness, care and love. You were, and always will be "simply the best". I know you and Scott are in heaven talking about the good ole days at Waltrip, and how you two rediscovered each other the night Scott took my brother, you and myself to dinner at Shanghai Reds. I remember us eating SNAILS AND WE CLOSED THE PLACE DOWN. That was a very special moment in time. I know my brother fell in love with you that night, but you were already on your pathway to your marriage with Kevin's dad. I am still so happy my brother and you were together here visiting, at my home, the Christmas before Jesus took you to your new home. We all still speak of you and remember Kevin in prayer for his unbearable loss of you.

My Dearest Friend, my heart is still heavy with heartache for you. Your life ended too soon. You still had so many memories here on Earth to yet make with all those that loved you. I know that somehow in heaven you are staying in touch with us. I miss you so much, my dearest friend. Love, Susie

Kevin and Estella - you know me best but I send my love and condolences to all the family. My heart is heavy with the knowledge of Yolanda's passing and if I had known I would have been at the service to support you and to tell her good bye. Yolanda called me in September and now I realize she was saying good bye to me. What a great gal who was always positive and fun to work with at David Powers Homes. Kevin, she always talked about you and bragged on your accomplishments. You were the love of her life. Estella, you were the best sister to her and next to Kevin she talked about you a lot too! Thank you for always being there for her. We will all miss her so very much. Yolanda is a bright light in my life forever. Hugs to everyone.

Dearest Serna Family,
I'm sorry I couldn't be with you at this difficult time, but please know that my heart and prayers go out to you. I know how much Yoli will be missed, but I know that you take comfort in knowing that she is rejoicing in Heaven with Our Lord and Saviour and the many loved ones whom we have lost over the years. I am so proud to be a part of the Serna family - a very strong Christian family who stand together in the best and worst of times.

Mom:

You sacrificed so much for me. I can't say how much I miss you. I hope somehow you get this message, and one day I will see you again. Life without you... I don't know. I'm just trying to stay positive and consolidate things. You will always have the biggest part of my heart, mom.

I love you ALL the world and ALL the "universities".

Lidia,
God looked around His Garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon His earth and saw your daughters loving face. He put His arms around her and lifted her to rest. His garden must be beautiful. He always takes the best. It broke our harts to lose her, but she did not go alone. For part of us went with her on the day God called her home. I miss each and every one of your family. May God bless each and every one.
Sincerely,
Raymond & Colleen Davis
