Yvonne is a lovely lady and a special person to all of us. She will surely be missed. Fond memories will always be in our hearts. Always ready with a joke to tell, a cup of coffee and a sweet treat. It has been a blessing to know her. When you hear a gentle rumble up above you can be sure Yvonne is sharing a joke and there is laughter in the sky. Rest in Peace sweet lady.
