Going back to school today was not easy just knowing I'll never get to c or hear her voice again...even when I thought no one saw greatness in me, or knew how caring and kind hearted I've always been, and how much I've grown into a women she always had nice words for me, she always encouraged me to keep pushing forward no matter what I was going through, she always told me to take a cruise. She always had a smile on her face. Nd it really hurts to know she is gone #RIPsweetangel I will miss you so much- Kristen Motley

I have known Yvonne for over 40 years from back in her college days in Montego Bay. She has never changed from being courageous, compassionate, caring, cheerful ,bubbly and extremely intelligent. Indelible memories are taking my baby son for a whole day. so I could get some composure. We driving miles in the hot fields to give her aged dad lunch. I am heartbroken because I miss my confidante, her visits, calls and texts but comforted knowing that Yvonne loved God and he has her in his bosom. Krystal, Junior and Damion your Mom loved you God will comfort you. Treasure her memories and he will heal all wounds. Patricia Graham

It was a privilege to be one of the first to meet Yvonne when she moved to Atlanta 30 years old. Driving her and her young son to church meetings, we got to know each other. She quickly became a precious Sister in Christ. Her love for Christ, her children and her church family was always evident in her tender , sweet spirit. She will be missed in Sunday Meetings, but not forgotten - there will always be treasured memories! - Tom Thompson
