I was thinking of Yvonne and found this. I worked with her when I was very young. She was so special and always treated us like we were her kids. I have never seen anyone work as hard as she did. What an amazing wonderful woman. I have thought of her so often through the years as she made such an impression on me. I am blessed to have had her in my life at a time when I was most influenced. God bless you Yvonne. So special!!!

It was a pleasure and an honor to be involved in some small way in the care of Yvonne. I always looked forward to my visits with her and she enriched my life more than I could ever imagine. I will miss Yvonne and her wonderful family.
