Update from Dec. 7, 2024

Thank you all so much for being there for my family and me as we celebrated our mom, Yvette. Your presence, love, and support during her homegoing services truly meant everything to us.

It’s been comforting to hear how much she touched the lives of others. Knowing she was loved by so many brings us peace, even in the middle of this heartbreak.

We’re so grateful for all the prayers, kind words, and memories shared. Thank you for helping us honor her incredible life. For those wanting to review the obituary to relive her beautiful life or for those who couldn't make it, you can find a digital version here: https://www.paperturn-view.co…

Update from Nov. 17, 2024

For convenience, we've researched lodging options closest to the repast, along with transportation options to get to San Diego for the services from the San Bernardino area. Be advised that the bus, Amtrak, and airline options are one-way, not round-trip. Also, the lodging pricing is for the night before the memorial (December 3rd) in case anyone would like to come into town early to avoid traffic on the day of service. If you intend to stay the night of the service, expect a similar cost as listed.

Please note that these prices are as of Nov 17 and are subject to change at any time. We understand resources may be limited, but we advise you to book earlier rather than later to prevent a spike in costs. Please let us know if you have any questions!
