Yolanda G. Banuelos

Good evening. My brother Joe Yamashita forwarded your e-mail to me regarding Yolanda G. Banuelos.

Yolanda passed away on January 27, 2008 following a courageous battle with cancer. She is survived by her long time companion Peter Molina, her three children, daughters Christiani Camacho, Alicia Camacho and her son Carlos Camacho. Yolanda worked at the California Highway Patrol Office in Culver City from 1996 until she passed away. We miss her.

A classmate sent me a website address http://www.venicecaliforniavets.com/ . The site contains photos from Yolanda's funeral.

Joyce (Takeuchi) Hirota to be remembered

Here is the obituary provided by Fukui Mortuary. Now theirs states the memorial service to be at the community center at 11 a.m. on Feb. 9th. Now I'm not sure where it is, either at the church or the community center. Wait for the Sunday obituary in the paper I guess to find out for sure. There is a viewing this Sunday, Feb. 3rd at Fukui Mortuary from 2-5 p.m.

Go to Fukui's website, www.fukuimortuary.com, and there's an obituary for Joyce.

Joyce and I grew up on the same street a few doors down from each other. We were in a lot of the same classes throughout elementary school till Junior High and would see each other there after at the same schools.
