Yvonne - My prayers are with you, and Valyn and her family. I knew her mainly through how much you adored her and talked about her, and from the trip you two made to NYC when I lived there. She was a sweet soul and her spirit will always live on within Corey and Tyler. May the Lord bless her and keep her, may the light of His face shine upon her and give her peace.

Love, Cam
