It's been a year since you've gone. I can grieve no longer, but must let you go. Perhaps we'll meet again... I love you, Yolanda.

I deeply cared for Yolanda as a caring sensitive friend who was there for me to share life concerns. We lost touch and it is only recently that I found out that about a year ago, she joined God. Her gentle kindness, quiet smile, soft voice will be deeply be missed.

Joel and family, my deepest sympathy.

Life with its certainties for He, the Almighty God, only can foresee for at the end will guide us to the lighted path into a dimensional world with absolute happiness and serenity. Someday mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, friends and others will follow the same guided path. Till then my friend, I will see you once again. Love you, Yolanda.
