To Those I Love:
When I am gone, just release me, let me go – so I can move into my afterglow.
You mustn't tie me down with your tears; let's be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love, you can only guess how much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown, but now it's time I traveled on alone.
So, grieve for me awhile, if grieve you must, then let your grief be comforted with trust.
It's only for a while that we must part so bless the memories within your heart.
And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and a
"Welcome Home."

The family wishes to thank the staffs of Sunrise-Danville, Home Care Assistance Bay Area, Hope Hospice and Quail Garden for their loving care of Yvonne in her final days and comfort to her daughter.
At Yvonne's request no services will be held. Neptune Society is handling arrangements. Her final resting place will be Cypress Lawn Cemetery, Colma, CA. Donations may be made to your favorite charity.
