Yvonne started as a client and became a friend. Her warmth, her generous spirit, and her good humor was always evident during good times and bad. All of us at the Animal Medical Clinic will miss her.

Since I was just days old, Aunt Yvonne has been a part of my life. I will miss her sassy personality and all the love she shared with us over the years.

I am so proud of her, for her strength to fight Breast Cancer for over 21 years and have such a strong spirit deifying the odds.

I (We) Love you Yvonne!

Such a beautiful person...I met Yvonne way back in 1991 when her sister, Carolyn & I became good friends. She will always be "Yven" to me, as that is what her sister has always called her. She taught us Country Western dance steps at her nephews wedding in the 90's. Carolyn & I even took a few country western classes with Yven when we came down to Florida for a visit. Even though I didn't get to see her that often, she was always in my thoughts and prayers. She will be terribly missed by all...but she is now in a beautiful place without pain and suffering. She's probably doing the Texas 2-step to " Achy Breaky Heart". Love and God Bless.

Yvonne was one of my dearest friends for many years. From the first time I met her, I knew she was special. It was a privilege to know her. Although I know she has gone to a better place, I will miss her terribly.

I didn't know Yvonne well, even though I felt like I did. Sometimes you feel close to a person without knowing why. I felt this way with her. I sent her email jokes & she was a good friend to my sister Mary Lou. Even though I knew that she didn't have long to live, I wished her the best in her last days . She was a strong person & I respected her very much. She is going to a better place without pain & suffering. My deepest condolences to her family
