Dr Yancey was the first Dr I ever heard of in my household growing up as a child . My Grandmother was a patient of his and also my mother. He is to be honored . He took care of most of the citizens in Vine City . I will make sure my 3 year old daughter do her first black history school report on Dr Yancey . He is admired and was loved by the community. He is an inspiration and always will be to the African American citizens of Atlanta .
With love from all the lives you saved and touched. Thank You . Mary Potts and family ; Atlanta ,Ga

Dear Carolyn, Asa, and Arthur,
My sympathies to all of you at the loss of your Dad. He was such a wonderful man and a excellent Doctor. The first surgery I ever had was performed by your Dad. He was so comforting and assuring. I was in High School at Northside at the time. We were all lucky to have him in our lives. I am glad our parent's were good friends and even though it has been years since I have seen you, I send you love from my heart and blessings that God will hold you near and dear in this difficult time.
Most Sincerely,
Patricia Shropshire

Carolyn: Please know that Fran and I are keeping you in our thoughts and our prayers. Your Dad was a physician everyone wanted to have treat them. His courage and devotion to making things better was unmatched. He made things better for all of us. I continue to believe that if we live as though death is the worst thing that can happen to us, we lose the zest for living. Your father had a zest for living and his legagacy lives on in all of you. Peace and blessings. Paul and Fran Smith, Montgomery Village, MD

My deepest sympathy to the Yancey family in the loss of not only a wonderful father, a grandfather, scholar, teacher and a true leader. He fought for what was right and treated everyone with respect. It was my pleasure working with Dr. Yancey during my 10 years at Grady. He will be missed but not forgotten.

I can't say enough good things about this man. His loss is great but his legacy is greater. His comitment to patients inspired me and every member of the Social Work Department to give our best to patients and the community. Thank God for men like him and may the Lord cover his family.
