We are so sorry to hear of the tragic and unfair loss of Miss Yolanda. My entire family are patients of Dr. Gan, and Yolanda has been there since I started going there 19 years ago. Her sincerity in her interest to each of us was inspiring. She had a warmth and truth about her that are rare and admirable. Yolanda spoke of her family with such love, pride and joy. Please know that memories of Yolanda will be our comfort as we mourn the loss of this truly amazing woman. Blessings to all her friends and family during this difficult time.

My Dearest Sister my life will never be the same without you.I feel completely adrift and aimless. I find that the words that should give me comfort, give me none at this time. I will love you and miss you all the days of my life.You were there for me all the time. Your love was always around me in good times and bad.I still feel your love even now. You gave to everyone except yourself.I Thank You for being a Wonderful Friend and Sister Who gave me so much laughter and the most precious gift of all her time and love. I now let you go even though my heart is breaking You are in Gods Hands and encircled by his love.
All My Love Lupe

Grandma, you will be missed dearly. Adrian & I love you so much. You were always there for us when ever we needed you. You made time when there was none left in the day for us. Even when life for us was going all wrong, you never felt any wrong in me and always brung my hopes to sanity. I will miss you grandma. Sometimes I think how will I go on without you? But I know you would always say everthing would be fine and you would help me get through it. I know you're still here with us spirtually, and that you will wait for me. I love you grandma. You were such a caring person. And that's how you taught me to be. Now I will do my best for you to live through me by everything you taught me & teaching my child (or children later on) your ways. I LOVE YOU. I MISS YOU. AND I WILL NEVER SAY GOODBYE.. I will see you when my time comes.. Love Adriana & Adrian

Ann, I will miss you completely, their is a giant hole in my heart. I keep expecting you to call me. You were one of my best friends I would have chosen you even if you wern't my sister. I don't know what I will do without you. I thank you for everything you have ever done for me, you were always their when I needed you. You have made me so mad one day and then call me the next like nouthing happened. You made me laugh like nobody I know could. Their were so many goodtime's and so much laughter. I can't believe your life was cut so short and now you will never be with us again. I have you in my heart and am thankfull that my daughter got to know you and spend time with you. She share's her story of spending the week with you and going to Rainforest Cafe and all the fun she had with you. We will both be sad every day till we see you again. Thank You for being in my life I am a better person for knowing you. I LOVE YOU AND WILL MISS YOU ALWAYS --Blas

I saw Yolanda last Wednesday at Dr. Gan's office. She was her usual charming, caring self--always asking about how my husband and I were doing, remembering our hobbies, our vacations, our concerns. I will miss her.

I am SO thankful for the many, many times we shared together and the lessons given to my kids to make them better people. I love that God placed you in my life to share the love of your brother and your family! I will miss your laughter, your high screams, your funny jokes that had me and my girls laughing, your kindness, your style and impecabble taste for good clothes but most importantly your spirit of love and faith for each other and our God. Luv you
