Yvonne and 8 have been friends since elementary school. We went through Nursing School together, we're in the same Sunday School couple's class together for many years. It's hard and sad to imagine not seeing her beautiful face and countenance again. When I think of "grace" I think of her. She has been a blessing to this world in so many ways. Yvonne, You have Beene a blessiIng to me and I will miss you,

I remember Yvonne from Junior and Senior High School Days, and dated her a few tines back then. I totally agree with our high school classmates Rosella and Sharon; and simply and would simply add that I remember her as somewhat shy and reserved, but kind and focused on her self improvement.

Jim and family, I am sorry for your loss. I knew Yvonne through College Hill UMC. In group discussions, I always wanted to hear what Yvonne had to say, as I knew her perspective would be unlike anyone else's, and her views would be filled with generosity and compassion. I will miss this grace-filled lady.

I cannot think of Yvonne without smiling! I know of no one who possessed a sweeter spirit and loving manner. Ellen, thank you for bringing your Mother and Father to our 60th High School Reunion last August. You seem to have inherited that same sweet spirit and our memories of each of you will warm our hearts! Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Rosella Ogg
