Finding out about this, even belatedly, fills me with emotion. Good and bad.
Yvonne came to my fourth grade class year after year and told her oh so poignant, gut wrenching, and heartwarming story.
All of my students undoubtably remember her, and I’m sure she leaves behind thousands of other children whose lives she impacted.
Sad that she has left this earth, but I hope she took pride in knowing how she survived, how she gave, and how she thrived.
