My heartfelt condolences go to the family of my dear friend Yolanda. Time spent with her and her entire family was so much more than a "beauty shop" appointment, for me and for all of her clients. She and her sister-in-law Mari and her mother whom we all knew as Chabelita, plus the cheerful appearances of her brother Bobby made it a happy time for us all. There was always delicious food that never needed a reason for appearing. I am sure I speak for all of her long-time clients who feel the same. Rest in peace, dear friend. Jennie Reed
May you Rest In Peace prima. I love you.
