I was saddened to hear of Yvette`s passing. I worked with her for many years at American Cyanamid (Cytec). Merril was my boss and Yvette and I bowled together in the Cyanamid Bowling league. I was instrumental in bringing them together and I played Cupid in introducing them to each other, and the rest,as they say,"Is History"! Yvette was a wonderful, friendly person and great co-worker. May her Soul rest in God`s eternal peace! My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to Nancy, the Prince, Belote and Perry Family`s et al.
Sincerely, with Love and Peace!
