    I haven’t seen you in years, so sorry to hear of your passing. You used to be at my house daily in the early 90s, playing cards and just enjoying ourselves. Such a beautiful soul. You will be missed. May you S.I.P Yabba

    To the Family: Words seems so feeble in moments like these. Love is a bond that death cannot part. Gone from our arms but forever in our hearts.

    To the family: Words cannot express the sadness I feel in my heart for Yabba. She was a beautiful person in and out.
    The Yabba I knew, her smile and laughter could light up a room!
    Letting go of someone you love is never easy. May the memories you shared with her bring you comfort when you need it the most. The Almighty God hates death; he view it as an enemy. 1 Corinthian 15:26. What will He do about it?
    Revelation 21:3,4……2 Corinthians 1:3,4. May these Bible scriptures bring comfort.
