Yvonne was a kind and wonderful person that we will all miss. She loved her family very much. We were sisters and enjoyed sharing a room together while growing up. She always had a smile for everyone. My thoughts and prayers are for her lovely family that she loved. Yvonne is now in Heaven with our parents and other siblings. She is at peace. May her memories comfort her family during this sad time.

So sorry to hear about Yvonne. I had heard she was in the hospital, but hadn't heard how she was doing. I will bring my mother down if she feels like making the trip. If not, we all will be thinking about your family.
