I love you grandma. Dave, Hailey and Chloe will miss you dearly. Thank you for loving us and always being so wonderful. You and Papa gave us incredible memories flying in the Cessna, California Redwoods, boating at the Kona Kai in San Diego and just playing cards and drinking hot Tang. I'll miss baking Spritz Cookies with you. Love your first Grandchild. Renee

Our cousin was such a delightful person to visit - we all thought the world of her.
I look around my house & think of Yvonne very often - banana holders. water bottles we shopped for, 3 prunes a day, how helpful the nettepot is, IHOP one of the favorites & the spagetti house, all the aids for my husband Dean's diebetes. Had a great time at our Hentges family get together in Montana (even though Doc got sick & ended up in Billings hospital). Larry came to Montana to drive them back to Phoenix. Since Our health issues we haven't been in touch enough but have wonderful memories of the great times we had together. She spent a week in Big River, CA with us & Bobby met us to take her home - enjoyed every minute she was with us. Love & Prayers - Dean, Cecelia Mann (ours Doug in Lewistown, MT & Scott in Bozeman, MT) & our nephew Kip Hentges (Ed's son). Kip thought she was a very special person too. He drove me to the hospital (3/17/15) when Dean had stent surgery. He called Yvonne several times after we came back to Big River.
