The Day God Called You Home
God looked around His garden
And He found an empty place.
And then He looked down upon the earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you,
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He saw the road was getting rough,
And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered "Peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you.
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home
Rest in Peace Yvette.
You are missed!

to the Lavins and all family members, I was very fortunate to have met your mom as a neighbor of my daughter. We chatted on Wednesday's & Fridays at school, waiting for our grandchildren. She was a very nice woman, easy to see that she had a heart of gold. I will truly miss her each week. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Dear Rocky, Kevin, Jimmy and San,
I am so deeply saddened at the passing of your Mom. Not only was she a great friend to my mother, but also like a second mother to me. Words truly can't express the pain I feel for all of you. Years pass and memories fade, but love never dies. Here's hoping you all find comfort in remembering the happy days, your Mom's laughter, and the laughter she brought to so many of us.
With love always, Gretchen
