Dear Mr Hamlin: (as that is how I always knew you), we lived next door. I was only 7 when we moved in, I was terrified of your two dogs at first, Gus and Ceaser, but time cured that. I will always remember you painting and repairing that Tourquoise fence. You and Yolanda always had 100 tomatoe and pepper plants growing in the back yard. The two of you were so easy going and tolerated all of us "KIDS" in the neighborhood. We will deeply miss Yolanda but know she is in a better place now. Howard & Karen & Karen Miller.

Aunt Yolanda,
The memories of you will last me a lifetime. I remember the lunches with you and me-ma, Aunt Rosie, & Aunt Edith, I remember going to your home, I remember you asking me where i got Kailey's name from. There are so many to choose that I will never forget how much I love you and how much I will truly miss your spirit and your strength.
Rest well in Heaven.
I love you.
Your great niece,
Debra Ann (Manter) Ruesga, Nicholas & Kailey Ruesga

Uncle Bill,

We are so very sorry about Aunt Yolanda's passing. Both of you have been blessed to share a long life together. Yolanda was the last sibbling of thirteen children. The Mogavero family has been so very close over the years with wonderful memories. I will miss talking about the old times with her. Bill, you are so much part of our familly. Everyone loves you very much. You made our lives better. Yolanda dedicated her life as a Nurse and worked very hard for several years. I have comfort to know she is with her Mother and the rest of the Mogavero's with their open arms to welcome her to heaven.

Although not surprised, I was so sad to hear of Yolanda's passing. I am so grateful that I was able to spend some time with her these last few months. She was the last of the Mogavero siblings. They're all gone now, but all together in heaven. Bill, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
