Yo you inspired me to dream big, chase the impossible and take fearless risk(not always a good idea, but always fun!) Yo was fiercely independent, witty and always entertaining. Some may have only seen her hard outer shell, but Yo was soft on the inside (something she never wanted most people to know about her.) She was deeply compassionate for everyone around her and did everything from her heart. I will always remember your generosity, perpetual optimism and easy going free spirit. We shared a lot of laughter and a few tears over our almost 20 year friendship. I was blessed to have you as my friend. Yo liked to quote movie lines,so here is one for you Yo. I know you will have a "Major Award" awaiting you in heaven.Thanks for being my friend I will hold you in my heart forever. Love,Weenie

Yo saw potential in me, I didn't know I had. I was just a customer at David's when she offered me a job. She taught me how to be a sales person. Her honesty, sense of humor, and ability to quietly care for all of us is going to be missed. I owe a lot to her, she gave me so much confidence. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and all who knew her. She was truly amazing!

Yo was equal parts caring and crazy. I so much enjoyed the year at David's she spent teaching me, pushing me, and encouraging me. She always inspired me to work my hardest, which she always modeled. My prayers and thoughts to her family, who she regularly spoke of and loved dearly.

Yo was the greatest to work with at David's. Her sense of humor matched mine well and we always had a good time. Yolanda you were dearly loved by so many and will be missed by all. I know how proud of your family and daughter you always were. They were so lucky to have you.
