We are so sad to learn about Yvonne. She and your dad were so good to our entire family. She was an exceptional woman. May you have peace during this difficult time.

I knew Yvonne in Bluefield, Va. We
served together with the Girl Scouts
being co-leaders of the troop. Except
my condolences and sympathy in the
death of your mother.
