This is to you Aunt Wendy,

I will truly miss you. It seemed like as soon as we were becoming close you left this earthly plane. I sure missed a treat in my early years after listening to all the wonderful things people had to say about you at you homegoing service. You were one of the funniest Aunts I had. God sure did find favor in you and shined on you even in your death. You left behind A WONDERFUL legacy. I just hope we can continue the loving kindness you displayed on a daily basis to people we come in contact with just as you did. May GOD BLESS YOU.
R.I.P. Your Niece Linda

When I first met Miss Yvonne, back in the 70's on Southern Avenue, I knew she was a force that could not be denied. She was strong and was never afraid to speak her mind. Although it has been many years since I have seen her, she will always be a woman I will remember with love and respect and anyone who knew her will never forget her.

With love and respect

It is with deepest sympathy that I express my condolences to Gwen and the rest of the Better family. Wendy (or Sally) as called by Nisey always made me laugh whenever I saw her and she will truly be missed. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I was saddened to hear about the passing of Ms. Yvonne. I lived in the same condos as she did for many years to find out that I knew Rick and Martece since high school...what a small world. She would always check on me and even when I moved when I saw her she had a smile and welcomed me with warmth. My father would go by from time to time and catch her outside. She will truly be missed and my prayers go out to the family!!

Years had gone by since the last time I spoke with or saw Ms. Yvonne. She was a neighborhood "Mother" to a lot of us...and boy did she do it well! (back in the day when it took a village to raise a child)...
I did a people search on the internet a few years back and found an address. Hoping it would be her, I sent a message in a Mother's Day card and my phone numbers just in case. My phone rang at work one day and to my surprise it was Ms. Yvonne! We laughed and talked for a while and she expressed her appreciation for her "Mother's Day" card.
Much Love and Respect for "A STRONG BLACK WOMAN"

R.I.P. Ms. Yvonne

Love Always,

I was saddened when I learned that Wendy had died. She was one of my favortie cousins. I will truly miss her at family events; especially the family reunion. Wendy had such a sweet spirit and was a loving person. When she entered the room everyone was in for a treat; she was truly a breadth of fresh air. Your loss, is my loss as well. I am going to miss her.

May God bless you.

Love,

I was truly saddened when I heard of Ms. Yvonne's passing. I can remember so many good memories living on Southern Ave. My prayers go out to Gwen, Eric, Walter and Shenna.

This world is but amusement and play, it's the home in the hereafter that's life in deed.

May Allah give you strength through out this difficult time.

Aunt Wendy,

I know you are in heaven my precious love. I miss you greatly and that can never be replaced. Your caring, straight to the hip personality, and down right to the point attitude made your family better for it. May you rest in peace with Mommie, Unk Franklin, Unk Pinkey, and your parents.

There is never a day that will go by without you being in my heart.

Love You always,

Your Niece
