I am so sorry to have lost a dear, longtime friend. Yetta and I worked together in Phoenix in the 60s, and formed a close friendship that spanned over 50 years. She was my maid of honor at my wedding, and consoled me when my husband died. Always there, always strong. God Bless you, dear Yetta. Be at peace now, and thank you for the great memories.
