Yvonne, we will miss your loving, caring & thoughtful friendship Phil & I had with you, you were truly a ‘one on a million’ & we feel so privileged to have called you our friend. We took pride in sharing our two beautiful granddaughters with Jim & yourself & loved our chats about how lucky we were to have them both, along with sharing our children in Karen & Ben.
You will be missed beyond words, sweetheart, you will remain firmly in our heart & memories.

Yvonne was a kind, gentle and caring soul who I had the privilege of calling my friend and work colleague. It will always be my biggest regret in not getting that lunch date in the diary. Rest in Peace x

My mum was the heart of our family — our greatest supporter and the champion of every hope and dream. She loved us so much and this has shaped our whole lives.

Mum, I love you more than words can hold. Oliver and Caitlin adore you and always will. Your support, your belief in us, your warmth and kindness.

I am so desperately lost without you, but I want to carry your love with us in everything we do.

How do I write down in words how i feel, how much you will be missed ? It’s impossible.. you will be deeply missed everyday. Every morning I still and know I always will check my phone expecting your famous “morning, hope you have a great day” text message. I will miss the love, support and hugs you gave. You really were an amazing kind and caring mum. Beau will always be told about her loving gran and you will never be forgotten ! X RIP Mum x

Can't believe you're no longer here. You were more than a friend - our families became entwined and your kindness and caring for us all will always be remembered. The world feels a little less bright without you. Rest peacefully my beautiful friend, Yve.xx
