First time I met aunt Yolanda , Latate and I were already married. I had just had Muffin she was three or four months maybe Aunt Yolanda moved to San Bernardino with a her children and her husband and she came down to my house which was on Evan’s st
we talked for about 2or 3 hours just me and her and when we finish talking aunt Linda stood up and said you’re nothing like they said you were I like you and I loved her every since then, because she would never judge no one by what someone else said.
My condolences to the whole entire family rest, easy aunt Yolanda.
My Aunt Yolanda had a spirit of a warrior. She will always be the epitome of beauty and strength. She had a personality full of life and a smile that lights up any room. She most favored her mother(Ella)in spirit. If you know you know. Auntie you now have joined the Ancestors ,continue to watch over us and guide us as we finish our journey in this earthly realm. You were a giant to us here on earth and now your an Angel in heaven. We love you always and forever.
