Send FlowersMaster of the Feast
Here are dishes Yvette Anderson might have served someday in her dream restaurant: corn pudding, barbecued chicken, fried chicken, turkey wings, collard greens mixed with kale and turnip greens, banana pudding, lemon meringue pie, peach cobbler. And her daughter Rasha McMillon's favorite, yellow and green squash with onions.
For years, members of White Rock Baptist Church in Harlem, where Mrs. Anderson prayed, praise-danced and tended to the elderly, were nourished by her feasts. Mrs. Anderson, 53, hoped to give the public a taste soon after she received her bachelor's degree in hotel and restaurant management next May. In the meantime, she was saving her earnings from two jobs: as a waitress at a soul food restaurant on weekends, and during the week, as a keyboard specialist at the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, in the World Trade Center.
Orphaned at 15, Mrs. Anderson pressed upon her children the importance of self- reliance and hard work. But she was also a joyous, generous woman, animated by faith. On the night of Sept. 10, she braided her daughter's hair, saying, "I don't know why, but I have a nervous feeling." Then, Ms. McMillon said, "She called a friend from church and talked about loving God."

Hi..I snapped this picture a couple of years ago..very random. I then looked Yvette's name up to learn more about her. While I never met her, I will never forget her. My deepest condolences to your family.

Yvette and Family, Our sorrow will never completely heal until we meet again in the heavenly place God has made for brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. I look forward to that glorious meeting, my dear friends. I will never forget.

Dear Yvette,
Today I honored you by running the same amount of stairs that I would have had to run in the World Trade Center to save your life on the tragic day we all will never forget. As you body lays peacefully in our Mother Earth, I know that your spirit that has ascended into the heavens is watching over your loved ones- caring for them as they care for you. You're very much still among us. You were in my heart today. We will never forget. I look forward to meeting you :)
