John:

Words cannot express the depth of my heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. Although I only knew Yvonne through the expression in your voice and in your eyes whenever you spoke of her and your special love, her courage reminded me of this verse from Hebrews:

"Let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith."

You are in my prayers.
