    I will always treasure the memory of Yvonne. She was part of my life since I was born. My parents bought a home across the street from her family and she was always there when we needed something or were hurt. I will miss her smile and her wisdom. Rest in peace Yvonne. You were a true and faithful servant to many. with love, Donnie.
