When Pastor Mike and I were Pastoring My Friends House, HP your mother and father always served the church community with such grace, love and humility.  Yolanda was an exceptional person who was always ready  to encourage and help others in need.  She was well loved and she loved well. We are grateful to be able to have been a part of her life during those early years of pastoral  ministry.  Much love to the family. 
Pastors, Mike and Laurie O’Brien

I Love you Ita, can’t put into words how much I’m going to miss you Ita, really going to miss our talks when I would get home from work, you always had so much to tell me about your day, I’ll Cherish our talks Ita, I told you I would when you would say , sorry for talking to much , I dreaded the day you wouldn’t be here , I’ll always remember knocking on your door when I got home , just to see how my Ita was and how your day was. Remember one day when I got home, and I asked how was your day, you said I went to the doctors today, they said I’m over weight, then you said ,‘I don’t care , I just feel sorry for you and whoever else has to carry my coffin if I die soon, you made me laugh Ita, I told you don’t talk like that, I hope that day is far far far away, you said mijo it okay, that’s life. Me and my family are forever and ever grateful for all the help you and Ito gave us , may God have favor on you and Ito, for being such wonderful, caring , loving Grandparents, the Best ever. I love you Ita, please watch over us from up there .
