Bob, Christina,Alissa,Robert, & Melinda (Pookie.) Just a note to let you know that your wife & mother will always live in your heart with a never-ending collage of mental videos/movies that will never die. She was a wonderful woman who loved and cared for all of you till her last breath. It isn't easy to lose the LOVE of your life but rest assured that she stood by the gates of Heaven and when her room was done, Our Lord Jesus Christ, let her in. Praise God for answering all our prayers and for giving Yolie Time to make her amends with him. Don't worry-SHE'S safe in the arms of JESUS.

I Love You All-PEACE

I had the priveledge to get to know you 8 years ago. We had our ups and downs while working together but we still managed to laugh to at all the crazy things we would talk about. I still remember how happy you were when you found out that you would be a grandma. And oMG how crazy you got when you found out that your baby boy had gotten his scholarship. You will be greatly missed.

To her family...keep your heaed up. Just think of it this way. From up above she is watching over all of you. Take care of each other for that is all we have while still on earth.

Love u'z all
