YVONNE CLAIRE TORRENCE

I sure miss chatting with her over our fence...she always was very loving towards me and would offer an ear when I had dilemmas and needed a kind person to listen...she was MORE than a "kind ear" because she would go out of her way to do whatever she could to help. She was quick to offer up wonderful uplifting spiritual comfort salted with an amazing sense of humor to take the edge off. I am so thankful her son lives next door now since I feel she is still there through him...I truly look forward to seeing her when I enter the Pearly Gates where she now has her mansion. I KNOW her door is open to me.

To the family, my heart is with you in your time of sorrow. (Matt. 11:28-30

I will forever remember my Aunt Yvonnne's mischief and infectious laugh, her keen wit and her zest for adventure but even more so, I will cherish how she connected with each of her McHale nieces and nephews; and we know that's a gaggle of kids! Rest in peace my dear Aunt and know that your work here made an impact.

Our deepest condolences to my cousins, Ed, Paul, Mary and John.

Dearest neighbor and friend, Mrs. Torrence, we will miss your sweetness and beautiful smile! You have been the best neighbor ever!
Besides being a neighbor she always expressing love and friendship to Pat and me. When I had my cancer scare she was at my side at the doctor visit since she said I needed someone to help take notes since I would be too nervous to remember what was said. I will never forget that.

She was an amazing woman and our lives have been deeply touched by being blessed to have known her! Peace and comfort to all her family...she is always with you in your hearts! Until we all meet again!

Our deepest condolences to the Torrence family. Fr. Andrew Carl Wisdom, O.P. and I had the wonderful pleasure of visiting with Yvonne on a couple of occasions. We will forever remember her deep faith and obvious joy-filled love for her family. What a gentle woman. May she now rest in peace, welcomed into Paradise by your father into the loving hands of our heavenly Father.
