Yvonne was a strong lay leader at St Aidan's church where I worship. In addition to supporting clergy at service she led a bible study group, played a major role in the intercessory prayer team and was one of the volunteer Religious Instruction (RI) teachers at a nearby secondary school. She always had a warm friendly greeting for everyone and was extremely supportive - she shared several ideas with me when I also started teaching RI. Sometimes, she would encourage our congregation in Praise and Worship on a Sunday morning before service. Of these times, my favourite hymn was "Come ye that love the Lord". Each time I sing this hymn, I will recall her memory. Yvonne clearly loved the Lord. Her passing has reminded us that we all will face him someday. May he provide comfort to her family and friends in their sorrow, may the angels lead Yvonne into paradise, may she rest in eternal peace.
