“You never lose the one you loved, if you loved the one you lost.”
My prayers go out to all the family. Yula was a gentle spirit that brought happiness to all who knew her.
Godspeed Yula.
We will miss Yula terribly. She made my Dad truly happy for the first time in a long, long time. She treated us like her own from the very beginning and we considered ourselves blessed to have had her in our lives. Our hearts are heavy with her passing too soon! and we will always love her and be grateful for the joy she brought Dad and us,too.
Grandma Yula was always so good to me. I miss and love her.
I miss my grandma terribly, my heart is broken. She touched my life like no other and I can’t wait to see her again.
I would like to start off this letter by telling Grandma that she will be missed greatly. I am forever grateful that I was able to spend time with her before her passing, to be able to tell her how much I love her. There are too many memories to count. One of my favorite is when she took us to bible camp. We were fed so much candy I threw up inside our tent Jessica and I had the bright idea of rigging the tent so nobody could get in. The most special memory I have is that she was able to be at the hospital and watch the birth of my youngest daughter Sierra, born one day after her own birthday. Grandma will be forever loved and missed by us all.
I will always miss my great grandma.Every time i went to her house she made us hot coco.I will miss her very much. I WILL MISS YOU A LOT!! p.s. so will my mom.
Thanks Everett for providing Mom with the love and happiness she had searched for her entire life. All of her children are indebted to you.
God Bless
I remember camping trips with Grandma, fishing the river, looking for crawdads sp?. I also remember her little house in Federal Way when she would have as many of us grandkids as she could fit over for dinner and staying the night. I remember her loving Wheel of Fortune on the Nintendo, frosted gingersnaps, those gelly orange slices, and her making the worlds best mac and cheese. Every Sunday she would pick up Melissa and I and head off to church, but she always stopped to buy us candy. Melissa and I were so close in life and age that we always got very similar birthday presents–one year it was a lavender bible for Melissa and a pink on for me. I painted her ceramic praying hands when I was little, and she told me how much she loved having them next to her bed. The last time I talked to Grandma was my wedding day June 4. She couldn’t make the wedding, but dad called her on his cell phone and put it on his chair so she could hear it. She was so tickled, and I was so happy when I hear that she was there with us. Although I’ll miss her to bits, I really feel as if we haven’t lost anyone–we’ve only gained an angel. Now she can really see us, so behave :
Lars and I are here for anything you may need Haley, even if its just a hug or chat! We love you.
I first met Yula in about 1964 when I helped her with a legal matter. Then, over the next forty years, I would have occasion to see her again over the span of a year or two, and then lose touch for a period of time. While she was primarily a client, I always considered her a good friend. Without fail, she was a lovely lady; caring and concerned about her family, and generally fun to be around. I join her children and other family members and friends to mourn the loss of a friend. May she rest in peace. Jack Praeger
