"Dick and I are saddened to hear of Yvonne's passing. Even before Dick and I met, I (Bev) got to know Yvonne at the Pizza Haus. I would often take my son and his friend there to eat and Yvonne was always so friendly and gracious. She would tease my son and his friend in a fun and happy way and always made us feel so welcome. She was a special lady and always had a twinkle in her eye that showed the love that was in her heart. Dick and Bev Snakenberg"

"Many good memories of Yvonne and her family as I grew up with her kids at Community, and some sad ones too (was pall bearer as a young person when Linda died). May all the family know the Lord's comfort at this time and have their hearts directed to the Savior whom Yvonne loved and served, and whose face she now sees! I've been praying for you to that end. Dave Merck"
