  3. To Yvonne’s family — Yvonne was a gracious lady and true friend. I had the priviledge of working with Yvonne for 10 years at the “home” and she never once entered the doors without a smile on her face. She was and showed the true meaning of “life” and showed me how to tackle any problem head on and made me realize no fight is too hard to be won. Yvonne fought her battle for years until finally her body grew tired and she just wanted to rest. So rest my dear cousin , you deserve it , and know you will always be remembered and live in our hearts .

    I was shocked to hear of Yvonne’s passing, even though I was aware of her struggle. It didn’t seem like she would ever leave us, but what a legacy she has left. Anyone who knew her will always remember her sweetness and the enormous courage that she silently portrayed. She was such a great example to all of the students she mentored at North Queens Nursing Home, and a treasured caregiver to residents there.

    I’m sure you will feel her strength in these difficult days.

    Sincerely,
    Judi

  33. Glenn and I want to express our deepest most sincere sympathy to Yvonne’s family. Yvonne to me was a mentor, someone that if some day I can become only half the person she was I will be truly blessed. She had a piece of each and every genuine quality, never fake, never over rated. She was just Yvonne, smart, funny, honest, sincere, brave, dedicated, trustworthy, and the list could go on and on. I cherish the past 10 years that I really had the chance to get to know Yvonne. Working with her was a true honor.
    Yvonne will surely help you all through these difficult times that lye ahead, she is a powerful woman, whether it be here on earth or from above she will see that her family is taken care of. She always has and always will.

    Glenn and Wanda
