God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. - anon

To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die -- We will miss you Aunt Yvonne

Christ died on the cross to guarantee our salvation and to make a way for our healing.

Neither sickness, heartache, pain, or death can take away our salvation.

May my sister rest in peace.

Do not stand at my grave and weep

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!

Mary Frye (1932)

Fair winds and following seas for your next journey.

We want to pray for our Aunt Yvonne, for we know she is dancing with the Angel's. We all remember those fun filled beach trips, swimming, eating and just having a great time. Many of those holiday road trips included our heading to some great parks, leaving early in the morning with boxes full of food to BBQ, snacks, drinks, blankets, you name it, we had it. What adventure we all experienced with Aunt Von.

My wonderful sister, Yvonne, has made the transition to eternity. I will always remember her infectious laugh. Once she started giggling, everyone in the room was laughing. She thoroughly enjoyed making others happy by preparing delicious and abundant meals. She loved having everyone pile into cars and head to Long Beach where we'd eat too much, play our music to loudly, dance in the sand, and try flying a kite, if the wind and weather cooperated. Yvonne considered driving a car as almost a competition. Riding with her behind the wheel was sometimes just plain frightening. Yvonne met the challenges of her life with great courage, especially during the last few months of her life as she endured a debilitating illness. I will always love and remember her. May she rest in eternal peace.
