They must be felt with the heart.” Helen Keller Tributes 1/17/2014 - I remember Yvonne so well. She lived across the street from my family when they lived in East Carbon. She was three years older and was a wonderful role model for me. She was beautiful and kind then and I know she continued down that path through her life time. I was so sad when the family moved to Moab and I have thought of them so very often. My condolences to her family from a friend who had the honor of knowing Yvonne in her younger years. - Allena Fisher Hyatt1/16/2014 - Dear Hawks Family, My sincere sympathy on the passing of Yvonne.

I'm sure there is a grand reunion going on in heaven. - Marilyn Costanza Dominy1/8/2014 - I have great memories of you both in school and through these many years.

My sympathies are with you, Bob, and with your children, and all your family. - Helen Dowd Mitten1/8/2014 - Bob you have our deepest sympathies from Elaine, myself and the boys.
