It's the little things, the small, everyday occurrences that you'll remember. The laughs, the stories, the smiles. And even though it seems like you can never recover from your loss, it is these very memories that will help push the pain away and bring back the smiles.

As hard as it seems, you will get through this difficult time and emerge stronger. We are always around to help you through this trying period.

Yvette is one of those lights that shined bright everyday at work. I can't remember one day or moment of her not smiling or helping someone. She was always there to help me and if she didn't know, she would track the answer down. It's a really tough thought to think that she is gone and won't be able to share the accomplishments of her precious daughters and husband with us anymore...... she LOVED her husband and daughters so much! Yvette was a family woman and one of the nicest people I've ever worked with. Rest on Lady and smile bright with the Lord!
