My wife, Janet, and I spent a lot of time over the last few years sitting with Yvonne enjoying conversation on many different topics. To say we will miss her is an understatement. She always enjoyed laughing and telling stories,. She talked often of Calvin and her son John. She always compared John to James Drury’s character The Virginian. Blessings for the family.

Miss Yvonne was an amazing woman and she will be deeply missed. She was great to talk with and always made sure to tell us to be safe while back on the property. I know you’re in heaven petting Penny right now. Rest in peace.
