My deepest condolences to the family of Dr. Chandler. We lost a great human being! She was a very dedicated and hard working professor.

May God bless you all-Bunny you will be missed

It was always a joy to spend time with Yvonne at the AALL and ALA annual conferences. I will miss the fun times that we shared. She was a great source of encouragement to students and colleagues alike. She is greatly missed.

Over the years, we remained in close contact, and she was my first stop for professional advice at every turn. Indeed, she was listed as a reference for every job I ever applied for. Her generosity was unbelievable, and I know I am only one of the many people she helped in...
