My faith tells me you are at peace and surrounded by the light of God. The void in my soul will remain until the day the Lord reunites us. I love you, mommy. My life is forever altered…kiss pops for Matthew & me.
Your loving daughter, Yvonne
Yvonne – Peace to you and your family in this challenging time. May you think of the beautiful times and loving memories and celebrate her and Pops life grounded in solid faith. May we live such a fruitful life! I keep you and Matthew close to my heart in prayer. ~ Love, Becky
Yvonne and Matt,
You know my thoughts, prayers and heart is with you as always but especially at this time. I know your faith will carry you through this difficult time as it did with pop. As for the ‘Queen’ she is where she should be now and I’m glad we became friends and got to enjoy many happy times at the dinner table especially when she was so amused with herself. Isabel will forever be in my heart and prayers.
Love always,
Dee

Dear Yvonne and Matthew
I was completely shocked at the sudden death of your Mother/Grand mother. May God give her eternal rest and may her soul rest in peace. Please be strong and accept my condolences, as you now have another angel watching over you.
All my sympathy is with you.
Love,
George Gaber
Yvonne,
I’m so sorry to hear about your Mother. Cherish the memories and remember they are always with you. You and your family will be in my prayers now and always. They are together with God and he will take care of them now.
I will always remember the story’s of your Mom/Grandmother. There is an old Irish wake saying: May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
The sun shine warm upon your face
The rain fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
Bless you and your family.
You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Mami is in such a better place now and can rest peacefully. Please except my deepest sympathy.
I love you guys always.
