Yolanda Yniguez, born on March 21, 1943, in Mexico City, Mexico, peacefully departed this life on July 6, 2025, in San Francisco, California. She was a beloved figure in her community and a cherished matriarch to her family.

I’m free!

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free, I’m following the path God has chosen for me. I took his hand when I heard him call; I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way; I’ve now found peace at the end of the day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, oh yes, these things, I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow; look for the sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full; I savored much, good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seems all too brief. Don’t lengthen your pain with undue grief. Lift up your heart and peace to thee, God wanted me now-he set me free.
