Yvonne was my student, assistant and friend in a troublesome period of time. We enjoyed those foolish Spanglish conversations and we felt free to talk our minds and give us each other courage, wisdom and support. We stayed united in the face of an economic downturn and social and professional uncertainty. She emerged stronger when met Alberto and left Spain for good. Although I struggled a few more years in a toxic work environment, the memory of her smile and positive attitude gave strength to never give up. Que la tierra te sea leve.

I saw this post on Facebook and couldn’t believe it. I actually put my phone away and then brought it out later to look again. I’m in utter shock. I did a run through memory lane and remembered meeting Alberto in Spain with you. I couldn’t believe it when you got back together after being years apart; and then married and building a life together here despite all the barriers along the way. I am in awe of how you always pushed for your dreams and followed your heart, and always stayed true to it.

I also have fond memories of us at Berkeley too and working on the security team together with all those wild yet wonderful gents. You’re one of those people who just doesn’t have a bad bone in your body - you are able to love people just as they are and ask nothing more than that. We all felt 100% accepted, if not perfect, with you. You are a rare person to know and we are all better for having known you. You have left simply far too soon. Thank you for leaving such a beautiful legacy of love, acceptance, loyalty, and kindness behind. My heart is with you, Alberto. I will be in shock for quite some time, but I find solace knowing that Yvonne is now an angel looking out for all of us.

May you Rest In Peace and stay in our hearts and thoughts forever, Yvonne.

Yvonne tenía una sonrisa que me recordaba a la que aperece en el rostro de un niño cuando sonríe, y podía sentir en ella la franqueza y sinceridad de su alma. Esos son mis mejores recuerdos de ella y espero que me acompañen siempre. Le agradeceré eternamente la confianza y admiración que depositó en mi. Y espero que su luz y sonrisa iluminen mi camino. Te llevaré siempre en mi corazón. Natalia.

How do we measure the worth of a beautiful human being? Academic achievement? Professional accomplishment? Public recognition? Power, position or money?

None of these. What we know in times like this is that the real worth of a beautiful human being is the human Heart that yearns for the love of their beloved. So it is with Yvonne Corazon Ayala. She lived her name of Corazon---Heart. She had a Heart of love that pulsated with a palpable love of her husband Alberto, the love of her parents, the love of her sisters Ninoska and Vivian and the love of her friends and colleagues. You could see the light beams of love emanate from a smile that expressed itself in all her ways of being.

In the midst of her life threatening illness she turned her Heart to God where she discovered the source, the journey and the destiny of her life. The poetry of life is written by this God who is a Poet who creates the aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of the life experience—which evokes and gives meaning to our relationships. As our tears try to cleanse us from our pain of separation we discover a little light that remains which still flickers in the chambers of our own hearts. It is Yvonne's love that pulsates which cannot die that lights the darkness of our despair. The Poetry and the Poet are now one. Yvonne and her God of love are now one. Yvonne and those who experienced the sunshine of her love are now one.

The legacy of her life of love points the way forward in our own journey of ultimate union with the God who created us to love and be loved so that we might be ready to accept his eternal love in heaven where he will gift us with a joy that is beyond all human understanding. In that joy we will once again behold Yvonne with her smile and a heart that continues to overflow with love for each one of us.

Blessings,

Reverend Mr. R. Christoph Sandoval, Deacon
but most importantly a Friend of the Heart

I worked with Yvonne for about 1 year in Oakland. We shared the same last name, so I use to call her “Prima”. She was a light- so full of positivity, energy and knowledge. Being me, I’d always try to gossip when we would go out to lunch. Yvonne would always look at me and say-“Stop. Who are we to talk about others?” I’ve taken her spirit toward others since then. I’ll miss you Prima. I know you are looking down on all of us from above- making sure we stay kind to one another.
Juan- you are not alone. Please reach out to me if you need anything. I’ll never forget your kindness when we met you for dinner in Madrid. I owe one.

Yvonne was my next door neighbor, and her presence is greatly missed. She was beautiful inside and out. I saw her as very sweet and kind-hearted, warm and generous. Her middle name was "Corazon," and it fit her perfectly. She was a talented and gifted young woman with much to contribute to her family and community, and a life cut much too short. She often gifted me with products from her workplace, and I liked them so much that I now buy them and so can continue my thread of friendship and memories of her. I offer her family, and her gracious husband Alberto, all also valued neighbors and friends, my deep condolences and sympathies for your great loss.
