Dear Yolie,

I will miss you girl.....I only hope you can see how many people you truly touched while you were here with us....You keep that beautiful smile and that childlike giggle.... you will always be my little brat.
Love you forever honey...... Pilar

Yolanda - thank you for being such a lovely person - I loved going to meetings with you, and seeing you come to life in recovery. There is a scene in The Color Purple where Whoopi Goldberg finally starts smiling and it's this big, bright smile that fills the whole room. That scene makes me think of you - I'll see you again, sister. Much love.
