Yvette is a part of so many of my fun memories growing up, what would Kelly & I be without Yvette. She shared a very tough summer for young girls in Iowa with us, lucky we had our angel Grandma Norman with us. Now Yvette rests in peace with Aunt Liz & Grandma Norman to watch over her. Much love goes out to Jack, Paul, Calvin & her kids, wish I could be there in person, I will be there in spirit instead.
Missing you....
