To Yvonne's children,
My deepest sympathy to your family. My sister and I remember seeing Yvonne many times when we were "youngsters". She and Eddie came to visit our parents Roger and Blanche Ziegenhagen in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. She can always be remembered for her sweet nature and smile. Blessings to all of you.
