Yost Family
I will always have fond memories of Mrs. Yost. Being the new kid in a big city, she really went out of her way to make me feel welcome and part of your extended family. Those
"stuffed shell meals" were something else. Although, there did seem to be a direct correlation between an invite to dinner, a hang over and moving something extremely heavy. Her sense of humor and view of the yonger generation was always on the money. Of course, we were pretty easy targets at the time (not that we have improved a hell of a lot since then!). I know the animal population of Boston will also be in morning after loosing a key advocate; particularly all the specially challenged felines with odd numbered legs and eyes and only partially covered in fur. She had a great laugh and that's what I'll miss the most. Mrs. Yost had a tremendous impact on those who were fortunate enough to know her and her memory will live on in our thoughts and stories. I will miss her greatly!

Dear Felita, Brian, Ed, Lex, Mike, Alex, Terry, Eddie and Joseph-
We are all so sorry about the loss of Pat. She was a great lady and we had a lot of fun times together. I won't forget our last trip to CA and her riding on the cart which Mike pedaled down the beach walk. Pat was a loving, caring, fun person and we were all blessed to be her friend. We will keep her spirit alive in our future together-like yesterday and her bet of 53! We love you all!

Dear Felita,

It was so very obvious to everyone how much you loved your mother and how special she was to you and your family. Your face would light up when you shared little stories about her this past summer; whether it was how happy she was to see your dogs or how she knew how to count money. I know she was a wonderful lady because she raised a wonderful daughter. Hold onto your memories; cry a but, but smile more. She'll always be with you. My sincere condolences to you and your family.

Just remember, the sorrow is so great because your mother meant so much to you, and that's a very special gift. If there is anything I can do, please ask...you know I mean that. I love you, and hope you find moments of peace in the coming days, weeks, months.
