I changed your A_date values to 1/13/2015 and stored those sample data in a table named YourTable. Using that table, this is the output in Access 2010 from the query below.

A_date    SumOfAbsent SumOfTardy SumOfVacation Reasons
--------- ----------- ---------- ------------- -------------------------------
1/13/2015           5                          Car Broke Down Doctor FLMA Sick

SELECT
    y.A_date,
    Sum(y.Absent) AS SumOfAbsent,
    Sum(y.Tardy) AS SumOfTardy,
    Sum(y.Vacation) AS SumOfVacation,
    ConcatRelated(
            'Reason',
            'YourTable',
            'A_date=Date()-1',
            'Reason',
            ' '
        ) AS Reasons
FROM YourTable AS y
WHERE y.A_date = Date()-1
GROUP BY y.A_date;
