To the McCall Family:
I extend my deepest condolences. Yvonne and I were classmates in Livingston and she was such a warm and caring person. Upon hearing of her journey to be with Jehovah, I was sadden that I would not be able to reconnect with her in this life and share in some antics of our childhood, but elated with the hope I may connect with her in the next. Yvonne's warmth and smile touched everyone she connected with and in turn we are better peole.

To the entire McCall family:
I was shocked and saddened to learn of Yvonne's (Miss McCall) passing. Miss McCall was my health teacher back in the 1980's while she was at Albany High.

My deepest and most heartfelt sympathy goes out to you during your time of sorrow. Miss McCall was a wonderful person both inside and out and she will be missed by everyone that knew her.

Find peace and comfort in knowing that your loved one is resting in the arms of Jesus and that she will never leave you alone.

Aunt Yvonne, I miss you so much already. I remember visiting you and everyone thinking I was your daughter because we looked so much alike, and how'd we laugh about me traveling and exploring the world and maybe one day getting married. Your words of encouragement is what kept me going when classes got too long and when work hours seemed endless. With your love and support I have concord one of my biggest goals-- graduating college. Though you are gone now, your strength and laughter lives within me everyday. I will never forget you and when I get my diploma this Saturday I will whisper silently...thank you Aunt Yvonne for never giving up on me.
Love you always and forever

To the family of Yvonne,
I went to school with her back in the days at Livingston. What a shock to see this. I had been thinking lately about people I haven't seen in awhile and she was one of them. She was a very nice person even when we were kids.
She was wise before her time.
She was quite the lady.
May she rest in peace.
