So very sorry to hear of Yvonne’s passing. Orman was my cousin and Yuvonne was always welcoming when we stopped by or saw them. You have our deepest sympathies, but know she is happy to be with Orman in heaven.

Yvonne was a special cousin to me. We have allot of memories together as kids and adults which I will cherish in my heart. She left us too soon but we know where she is today...Jesus. Due to inclement weather I'm unable to attend today but know my heart and love for you all is with you. I sure wanted to be there. 😥 May God wrap his loving arms around the family today and months to come. I love you all..... Tina
