Yvonne and I had great times working together at the Saddledome. We became friends and did a lot together. My visit to Prince George was very memorable! You will never be forgotten but definitely will be missed!

My mom & dad: Bonnie/Bunny & Darrell Tremblay, lived across the street from Andy & Yvonne in Port Hardy, 15 yrs approx. I'm their daughter Monique. I literally was thinking of Yvonne the other day. She made me feel incredibly special when we'd spend time in her kitchen shelling peas she had grown in her garden. Dozens of fond memories, and I thank you for that. Rest in Peace you amazing lady. I carry you in my heart.
