My fondest memories of Yolie involve food and the delicious meals and deserts we had at her house. Hard to believe you have been gone 15 years. Fran remembering you at this time. Love Chele

Fran I just want you to know that I am thinking of Yolie this week and that my thoughts and prayers are with you and Bob. You know that I have the fondest memories of holidays and family get togethers with the three of you. My family is very much looking forward to a visit in January! Love always.

Dear Aunty Yolie, do you remember returning from visiting Fran and Bob in their home in VA and the fan belt broke and we had to walk to a service station and got help and they towed us and fixed the fan belt and then we were on our way again. I cannot put down on paper all the good times we had everywhere and at your home, etc. I only know that I love you very much and I will miss you forever. Love and Hugs, Bobbie

Just remembering 21 years ago when you were at my side the day before my daughter Cassie was born. You and I had a great visit and it is hard to believe that 21 years have passed. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers and I miss you. Love

Mother, if it is as they say, and you can see and hear from heaven, I hope you enjoyed the beautiful mass that Father Eric said for you on January 20 to celebrate your birthday. It was a beautiful service and parishoners who didn't know us came to pay their respects to me. I asked Father Eric if I could put the final pictures Michele took at the viewing and then made a collage up on a special poster board and all the people went down to the altar to view it. I miss you more than you will...

Fran,
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. It has been over 30 years since we've had any contact, but I wanted you to know that I think of you and hope you are well. Again, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Dearest Yolie- You were a gracious hostess whether it was in your home at at Diamond Ridge. You were an amazing Mother and friend to Fran and Bob. We miss you so much and wish we had known you MUCH longer! May God bless you.

Mother, I thought this might be something to remember in years to come. You were well loved by many, which was proven at the viewing. People you worked with you more than 30 years ago came to say their farewells to you, remembering all the good times at MILICO parties as well as at our home. The Funeral Director even said that it was a remarkable turnout at the viewing for the short notice people received in the papers. Everyone commented on the delicious food they always had when they...

Yolie: you were a very special person, I will always remember our outings for lunch and us always fighting who was going to pick up the tab. Then we would all go shopping, and at night we would always go to your place to watch tv and I would eat all of your chocolate, and then we start the next morning, you will be truly missed.
