Not sure if you remember me but I used to work for you years ago. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have fond memories of Yolanda and will always remember her infectious smile! I know how close all of you are and how very difficult this must be, may your memories with her help to ease your sorrow. Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
