I met Yvonne through our work at FDOT in 2008 and became fast friends. She was an inspiration through some tough times and I will never forget her. May she rest in peace with her two cherished Bassett hounds Guinness and Charlie.

Knew Miss Yavonne a very long time... a sweet lady with a firey streak that made her memorable as well as a stubborn streak to match, a sweet lady who will be sorely missed by those who were blessed to know her
