Condolences Tony & rest of your family! Yvonne was always willing to help out with Scouting activities! I will remember her smile & dependability in the years we worked together in the BSA, plus being a great person. We would see her once a year at Wilson's Law office banquet and get a chance to reminisce. Rochelle always enjoyed the trips up to Castle Rock with Yvonne & her mother. RIP, prayers are with you!

Yvonne sand in the choir with me. She always had a smile and a word of encouragement when I first joined. I will miss her, she touched my heart like no other.

Tony-I'm very sorry to see your mom has passed away. "Vonnie" was a great neighbor and I always enjoyed chatting with her at the fence and maybe sharing a beer. I looked forward to Xmas because she baked the best Xmas cookies ever! You and your family have our sincere condolences. Ed & Kathy Wirka
