She was a much loved Spanish teacher for over three decade and all her life would correct Spanish grammar or pronunciation. Yolanda was a very devout Catholic who would never miss Sunday mass no matter how infirm. She prayed every day and had a very deep devotion to the Virgin Mary so much that she named her only daughter-- Virginia Maria. Even on her last night on Earth she woke briefly while the family was praying the rosary and although gasping for air she actually tried to pray, but Ginger said "No mi amor no te esfuerzes dejame ser tu voz" No my love don't force yourself let me be your voice, those were our last words and I hope to be her voice forever.
