I remember when we first met this spunky little girl in Nevada. She hit it off so well with my boys as if they were sibblings rather than cousins. It was good to hear from all of her Springfield family and friends how she maintained her spunk and charm. She is a great loss to this world, but a great treasure to have known.

We want to thank everyone for the outpouring of help and condolenscense. We were so touched by the hundreds of people who came to her services, and the many who spoke about how she touched their lives.
We especially appreciated hearing from her teachers and youth group advisors, who watched her grow up and shared in the journey with us.
May we remember her positive works and her high spirits as we move through the dark days ahead. And may we carry this energy throughout our lives.
We love you, Goose.

Jim, Terry and Family,
Our hearts and tears go with you in your grief. Yvonne was a beautiful soul who never lost her sense of wonder and excitement. As the song goes - when she got the choice to sit it out or dance - she danced. We can learn about life from this beautiful person. Be at Peace!

I worked with Yvonne for a few years at SteakNShake and for a couple months at Texas Roadhouse and she was very nice and left a good impression on me. I am sad that she is gone however I am glad she no longer feels the pain of this life but instead is set free eternally.

My heart goes out to you and your family Terri. I was saddened beyond words to hear of Yvonne's passing. I will always remember her as a free-spirited and beautiful young lady who was fearless by nature and not afraid to “think outside the box”. During her far too short time on this earth, she touched many lives – mine included. I will miss her ready smile at the coffee cart and her sweet way of saying, “Thank you hon”. Cat Stevens so aptly sang, “We're only dancing on this earth for a short while” and Yvonne did just that – she embraced life to the fullest and danced with her eyes and arms wide open. May fond memories of Yvonne, and the knowledge that she will be remembered and missed by many, comfort you in days ahead.

I cannot express my sorrow at the loss of such a kind and vivacious girl. I knew her through my son Michael Killian and she was always so repectful and fun to be around. At Michael's wedding seh went out of her way to introduce to me to people she thought I might not remember. She was beautiful in every way. If you need to talk, please call me at 217 361-9688. I will not have the right words, but I can listen and sometimes it is better to talk to someone you do not know well. My prayers are with you. Lynn Taylor Clark
