Dear Nancy, Lori and Danny, I remember your mom, as a little girl, walking down Rt. 103 from the Hershiser farm, to play with my twin sister Jan, older sister Barb, and me, while we were visiting our grandparents down the road. Through the years, Yvonne always wanted to know how everyone was doing, where we were, etc. I always felt so close to her, as she stayed in touch, sending cards and so on. Dick has also always loved your mom, through the church, the hospital, and as a friend. Love, prayers and blessings to you all at this sad time.
