    Dear Mindy and Tom, Yvonne was my best friend since 4th grade at St. Mark School in Altoona, We shared a lifetime together through Altoona High School. Each summer Yvonne, Rita Luciano and I would get together when I came into Altoona from Connecticut. May she rest in peace and not cause too much trouble in Heaven! She was quite the jokester. I will miss her so much. Rest in peace, dear friend, Love you, Jackie Bouchard
