Yvette & Family,
I have fond childhood memories of Sister from the 70‘s and early 80‘s. When I saw her last year she was still dressing stylishly and seemed to remember “Liz‘s boy.” Sister lives in our memories. Keep your most cherished memories close to your heart. They will outlast your sorrow!

Yvette, and J.A
My fondest childhood memories are of you, and your parents. Your mom was fun to be around, and spontaneous with her wit. Growing up, Ernie and I spent a lot of time at your parent's home, and always had the best time. She was fast talking, humorous, entertaining, and unique. My heart goes out to you, and your family. Take care of each other.
Love
Robinette

Dear Yvette & JA, Frederick Jr. & I did attend the funeral and your mom looked as nice as I remember her, her hat & all, she was lovely. We could not stay for the repast, but I wanted you to know you are in my prayers. I KNOW what it's like, our mother just passed on July 1, 2008. You all, I'm sure,have lots of pleasant memories.It's so hard to realize that some people are not in our lives any longer,but the spirit is alive, so I find it comforting to still "talk" to my mom when I feel...

Yvette, although it has been many years since I've seen you and your family, I remember you all quite well, especially from the Van de Vyver days. I remember your mother as a very pleasant lady and I know those are the kind of memories that you all have of her that will help you through these hard times.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

To: Yvette & family
We are very sorry to hear of your loss. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Through your mom we came to know you even more, even though you were not the patient :), but you and your mom were always a pleasure to see coming. Remember, and I know you have heard this time and time again, your mom may be immediately gone from you physically and from your literal presence, but she will always be in your heart. Treasure the memories, when you look back now you...
