Memories and Condolences
for Yvonne Bernard

Not sure what to say?





To the family and friends of Yvonne, please accept my deepest condolences .

I had the good fortune of meeting Yvonne at Poly Hi and from the moment of meeting her , you knew she had a special gift of love, compassion, understanding and humor. I only knew her for a short 2 years but those two years were like a time spent in the sunshine of a great person. Lighting up a room is an attribute that only belongs to a few and that light belongs to you Yvonne.

You'll always be in my heart and the hearts of so many others.

Rest in peace , dear friend.

You were like a Auntie to me. So many memories living on Linden Ave and spending countless days and nights at your home with Grammy, Jackie, Andrea, and my childhood friend, your nephew Sean.
You are always on my mind and I thank you for all of the fond memories and kind words you shared. God bless your soul and memory for all eternity.

I will always remember all the good times we shared over the years... She was one of the best people in my life.
She was part of my family and will always have a special place in my heart.
My love go out to you Kandy (Grammy) and to Pam and all the family.
God Bless

To the family of Yvonne, my heart shares your grief at her passing. We were running buddies in 6th grade and I will remember forever or times of being together. She had a boldness and sense of humor. Her insight into things was an education for me. I was saddened to hear of the lost of my childhood friend; Lincoln, Franklin and Poly. May God comfort you and give you His peace.
