Yvonne was an awesome woman, she worked so hard for what she had. All you would hear her say is, she is doing it for HER boys. She lived life to the fulliest, I could remember her at football games just so proud of what she accomplished as a single parent. She is looking down at all of you, knowing that you three can do it, she brought you all up to be strong men, so do it for her. She has a very strong family that stands behind her and she is very lucky for that.

Good luck and God Bless you all. R.I.P YVONNE........

Family & Friends,

I knew Yvonne by working with her at Anthem College. I was her Assistant Director. Yvonne was a hard worker and go getter she was promoted to a Senior Representitive in three months. Her team (SOLID) loved and respected her. Yvonne worked hard because she loved her children and wanted them to have a good life. I called her "Miss Independent"

Yvonne was also a good friend who was caring, thoughtful and always willing to help others. I will miss my vivacious friend. My thoughts and prayers go out to her loved ones.
