I grew up in IHM in S. Plains and though Fr. Byrne, a kind and rock-solid pastor, was a tough act to follow, Fr. Yeo was more than up to the task. He had great heart along with preaching and teaching the Gospel and what the Church has taught from the beginning. His explanations both from the pulpit and one on one in talks were a big help in strenthening my faith as a teen and I am so grateful for Fr. Yeo's witness and example. A rare, true man of God.

Father Yeo married my husband, Jerry, and I on February 22, 1975........we just celebrated our 37th Anniversary! He was such a nice person; we kept in touch with Christmas cards for all of these years, and I was saddened to learn of his passing. Unfortunately, we were unable to attend the viewing, but I did send his sister a sympathy card. Heaven now has another great person!

Father Yeo was surly missed the day he left IHM. He was good enough to come back and marry our son which we greatly appreciated. We miss the christmas letter that he sent every year. We looked forward for the update of his daily doings. Our sympathies go out to his family GOD BLESS FATHER YEO.The Culley Family

Father Brother Willie Yeo was a dear friend of my family and especially to my brother John. He was a very jovial,cosiderate,sincere, and loving person. I did not learn of brother's death until today. I am so sorry.
