Blessings and beautiful celebration of life, love and a great journey that lives on through all Yolande touched. So grateful for the amazing daughter, my soul sister Daya, that came from this epic woman. Daya teaches us all how to show up and be there selflessly in honor of the divine. This comes straight through from Yolande no doubt. Many blessings and abundant love to you Yolande that your next journey ride on the wings of all the love you created here.

Celebrating the life of Yolande Hamwi a graceful, brilliant, kind & loving mother and grandmother. Her legacy lives on through her family as she shines down from above. I thank you Daya for being a stunning example of what it means to be selflessl
