Uncle Glen and Family, I am so sorry about my Aunt Yvonne. I just learned of her death this evening and I am thankful that Aunt Leota called me. I am so sorry I have not been in touch and regret not being around Aunt Yvonne because I could always tell if my mother Lexie had talked to her because she would be uplifting to my mother during her most difficult times with her illness. Aunt Yvonne was so kind to my mother Lexie. My mother thought so much of Aunt Yvonne and I am so sorry for your loss. I remember how well my mom spoke of her and how much love my mother had for her sister. I also am so thankful when Aunt Yvonne had mailed some clothing and a card for my children when my mother told her I was going through a divorce. It seems as if whenever anyone needed a friend Aunt Yvonne was there and was a very kind hearted person. Aunt Yvonne was so thoughtful of others and I just wish I had been able to know her more. I am so sorry again for your great loss but I know my mother is very happy the day she was able to be with her baby sister again. I hope and will be praying for your loss and I know this loss and it is so deep and hard to explain the pain but at the same time I know heaven has gained a very kind woman and Jesus must have called her home as he did my mother to help finish his great plan that he has for us all who believe. May God bless you and all of your family. If somehow I can not work out to get to the funeral I want you all to know I will be praying and I do care. I am thankful for having such a great Aunt that has made so much difference in this world to make it a better place. If there is anything I can do for you please call. My kids and I will be praying. Love, Charlotte Jones and kids J.R. and Alexis
