Yolanda O. Zapata

Yolanda,
I just found out today! - I can't even believe it's true. We knew each other for over 30+ years. We were crazy and full of life. We had some wild times along with our husband's then - Robert and John - How is this possible?? I'm crying as I write this because I will never forget you, Sandra, and our special friendship.
My love to you and your family
Cindy Tovar

The SHORTtime I had to get to Know Yolanda was much shorter than I had ever expected, just eight months, but it was the best eight months I have ever known anyone. Yolanda was special in so many ways. Her love for dancing and joy of life, always giving of herself to her family and friends. She has truly changed my world and life. Her friends are many but her Kazamba group the BEST. Always laughing, smiling, and up for the next gig. I have so many pictures of her in all her costumes and of us together and the MANY MEMORIES we made in such a short time. The bus ride back from BorderFest is one many memorable Times. Where ever the party, it became Yolanda's party, always wanting to dance. She is now with the LORD, her sister and brother and we all miss her so greatly. To Tony, your mother was the most beautiful person (in & out) I have ever had the company of. To Nick, I cannot imagine the great loss she is to you, your wonderful, loving sister, and to your Mother, Families and Kazamba Family no words enough. Thank You for sharing Yolanda with me. You will all be in my PRAYERS forever. I Love you all. God Bless.

I would ask Yolanda, Are you having a good time? And She would Respond, No, I am having a "LARGE TIME!" I will miss you terribly and all of the LARGE times we were yet to have. I Love You, Geronimo!

To Yolanda Family.
May God hold you in His arms and give you peace and Comfort.

My name is Vivian Torrez and I work at Acorn Housing in the San Antonio office, I would like Yolanda's family to know how greatful we were to have her associated with Acorn. Yolanda was always very gracious and took time from her busy schedule in assisting with our classes. We could always count on her for support. Yolanda made many people's dreams come true by helping them buy their homes. I remember her vitality for life and her dancing. We will miss her but we were truly blessed for having known her.
Our sympathy to all her loved ones on behalf of Acorn Housing.

To Yolanda's family;
Yolanda with her beautiful way of presenting at our homebuyer's education class here at Avenida Guadalupe Association and her awesome smile and her vast knowledge held her audience captive. Not too mention, her sincerity in helping people achieve their dreams in buying a home. I am deeply sorry for your and the community's loss, we can only thank God for allowing us to know her on this earth, we'll see her soon in Heaven.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.

I am so sorry for your loss. I've known your mom for over 35 yrs. and two of the proudest moments of her life were when you & Debbie got married and when you made her a GRANDMA!!

Know that you Debbie & your boys have a very special guardian angel watching over you.

My condolences to Yolanda’s family for their loss. Yolanda was a good-natured, hardworking, fun-loving and kind person. A friend to all and a stranger to none.

MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE OZUNA AND THE ZAPATA FAMILY, MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. I KNEW YOLI IN HIGH SCHOOL AND KNEW HER A LITTLE BIT, SHE WAS A SHY GIRL IN SCHOOL AND WAS A NICE GIRL TO TALK TO, VERY RESERVED. OF COURSE, I DIDN'T SEE HER ANYMORE AFTER THAT AND SHE MIGHT HAVE CHANGED SINCE THEN, LOOKS LIKE SHE WAS VERY OUTGOING COMPARED TO THE TIMES IN HIGH SCHOOL, OF COURSE, WE ALL CHANGE IN TIME, MAY SHE REST IN PEACE AND I WILL KEEP HER IN MY PRAYERS.

Yolie, You were the little Shirley Temple of the family. I'll always remember you that way. I'll never forget the fun we would have at your house growing up. The parties, singing and dancing, we all had lots of fun. You were the life of the party then and even when we grew up. A party wasn't a party unless Yolie was there. To hear of your passing will leave a void in our hearts but the memories will never die. Our love goes out to Tony and his family, Tia Pita and Nick, Sylvia and Jackie and all the other family and friends that Yolie embraced. All our Love, Your Cuz

Our deepest heart felt condolences.

We remember the early days of your real estate career with great detail. Your love for people and their interests made many seek you out. May the Lord accept your loving spirit and Bless the family who mourns your loss.

Our deepest sympathy and condolences to the Ozuna family. I remember back in the 1960's when Tia Lupe and Tio Walle, Yolanda, Frankie, Sandra and Nick would come visit us in Odem and Corpus Christi. We always knew that we were going to the beach! It was always fun to get a visit from our San Antonio cousins and the memory of those times will always be with me. May God be with Yolanda and watch over her.

My deepest sympathy goes out to her family. She was a delightful lady and loved doing the things she did daily. I met Yolanda ten years ago and have enjoyed working her. May her memories bring laughter to your heart as she always wore a smile.

We are so sorry for your loss.
Your loved one has left behind so many memories that will live on in the hearts of everyone that loved and knew her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Our deepest sympathy to You Tony, Debbie, Ethan and Connor. Your Mom was one of the most loving ladies I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Albert and I will miss her, her smile and her affection. We loved having fun and spending time with her. We will always keep thoughts of her in our hearts. May the Lord give you the peace, the strength and the understanding you need during this sad time. Please know that we are here for you! your friends Albert and Hope Arellano
