Although it doesn’t completely make sense why you’re gone so soon, we will still treasure your life as if you are with us everyday. Rest In Peace grandma 🙏 Quien fue Yola en mi vida !! Son tantos los momentos en nuestras vidas como hermanos que comenzaría por decir que era mi confidente la hermana alcahueta que te guarda todos tus secretos sin tener el miedo en que te delatara. El alma feliz de la familia fueron pocos los momentos en que la miré enojada y si lo hacía le duraba muy poco porque la felicidad que vivía dentro de ella era incontrolable. Soy de poco conversar por teléfono pero cuando lo hacía con ella era algo que no podía controlar y pasaba hasta 1 hora en ocaciones con conversaciones desde que éramos niños hasta el presente. Ahora con quien voy conversar y será mi confidente ?? Te amo Golda y vivirás siempre en mi corazón. 😢
