Rest In Peace Soror! Thanks for your friendship and caring!
Prayers and fond memories are what we have to remember our dearly departed Yogi. Our deepest sympathies go out to the King family and friends!
With love and prayers,

Yogi,
We just spoke last month about various things from long ago to current situations in the world. We talked with God's favor being our main focus. We mentioned how God favored us through the years. In our last conversation we said no matter the length of time that had gone, our conversation never lag. Many times we have others in our thoughts and hearts, only to let time get away without reaching out to say " hello, how you doing or I miss and love you." Before we know it that time adds up to years without us reaching out. I must say God knew the time was right for the two of us to reconnect and talk like old times. I too remember the good times we shared as kids (like Wilbur mentioned) attending church, Palace of Children conferences, the mall and to McDonalds afterwards with your parents or spending nights on the weekends at each other's home.
God has called a true Angel home. You are truly loved and missed by many.
Love you sister,
Carol Shannon-Hall
Yogi; I will forever remember your smile and your kind heart. You have always been an inspiration to me. I remember you during our youth as we attended various BTU conferences and Palace of Children's groups. We were required by our parents to not only attend but to participate with an active role.
I remember you as a cheerleader at EHS cheering on those mighty Bulldogs, As we grew into young adults, our paths traveled in different directions. JSU and West Alabama for you and JCJC and USM for me. Nonetheless, whenever we were able to connect again, it was just like old times. I will always remember your work in the church and how well spoken and dedicated you were to sharing God's word. You were always the smart one and you always gave back.
I will always have fond memories of you my dear friend. As we grieve your passing, I'm sure Ma Dear, Da Da, Sue Baby, Carl and Carol Faye are jumping with joy to have you in their presence. Rest in peace my friend...you will never be forgotten.
In Memory of Soror Yolanda Jones.
Yogi, I will always remember the phenomenal times we shared as roommates at Jackson State University. I thank God that I was able to speak with you recently. I will miss you and never forget you.

Yolanda was a delight to know and made me laugh many times. Loved that sense of humor. May God bless her family and many friends in this time of grief.
