Yvonne was a lovely, talented and funny lady! I could give her an arm full of fabrics with a mouth full of directions for creating a design and she’d just look over her glasses, repeat my request to make sure we understood each other, tell me when it would be ready, and never failed to succeed! She was a real gem! God love her heart!

Dear Joyce and family,
I met your Mom many years ago. We were hospital room mates. We formed a friendship that lasted a long time; kind of in and out of each others lives. She was a sweetheart and I know you will all miss her. She’s back with her Jimmy and Janie. I pray the Lord brings you strength and comfort in the times to come.
Love to you all,
