To Yvonne family, I am sorry to find out that Yvonne has passed. I was looking online for her niece arrangements and came across this. Yvonne kept my son from Three months old until he turn four. She called him Tony forever and his name was Anthony Owens. She loved children she didn't care who child it was. She take anybody in and help them. My son Anthony was killed in Febuary of this year and I know he's got a SPECIAL ANGEL walking right beside him. She is telling him how she used change his diaper[smile]. Madrine you raised some good children and Cookie and Yvonne are smiling down on all of you'll. Remember God only take the good ones. Chippo aka Dorothy Owens Rasheed
