We will sincerely miss our precious, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister & friend. Yvonne was a very strong woman; the most sincere, loving and caring person, and everyone who knew her, loved her so very much. We have been blessed to have her in our lives, to teach us, give us direction, and most of all her unconditional love, hope & faith. We want to sincerely thank Hospice and Caregivers who cared for her with the compassionate & loving care they provided to her prior to & before her passing. It has been extremely difficult and heartbreaking during this pandemic for family & friends not able to spend time in person with their loved ones before passing, (hugging them, holding their hands and just being there with them as we are during a usual process of a loved one’s passing on). We cannot thank those who were at her side enough. We want to pray for our mother and all those who have lost their lives through this pandemic and their families. We also pray that you all embrace your loved ones and stay safe as it can take a precious life so quickly. We are having a private funeral due to Covid & will hold a celebration of life for family & friends, hopefully on her birthday May 30, 2021. Love & God Bless to All.
