Dear Ida, Solomena, and Eniak,

My children, Marcy (in Ida's ONHS class), Solomena (Patrick's ONHS friend), and Megan (Eniak's ONHS friend), all send their condolences and sympathy to you and the entire family.

They loved your father at ON and remember your lively and beautiful mother.

All of us Spaulding's have received so much inspiration, strength, kindness, and faith from your father and mother in more ways than you will ever know - especially me.

This is a hard, hard time.
We are praying for you in your loss and void.
With love,
Yvonne Spaulding and all the Spauldings

Though We at Irick Family Care never knew your wife, mother, sister and grandmother she was clearly the queen of the family in personality, physicality, and spirituality. Our condolences to the entire Bywater family in your  loss of such a great lady.  We are lucky to know her son Salomino and now have a better understanding of where his charisma and zest for life originated.

To the Bywaters family my God bless you in the loss of your love one.  To Eniak Mpwo I will always remember this wonderful strong lady who called me her friend, for looking out for you when you got hurt playing football.  Keep your head up and know that he is GOD!

The Lord bless and keep thee and maketh His grace to be with you during this time and forever more. You are all in my prayers. Her smile is what I will always remember...

Yvonne came to me 19 yrs ago asking for help...she told me it takes a village to raise a child and every neighbor to watch over them. Yvonne and Joe have touched so many lives, myself and my family included. I am honored to have known such a lovely woman, a pure and selfless example of God's love. Heaven is surely rejoicing, celebrating the addition of this beautiful angel. To Big Joe, may God comfort you and your family in the days and weeks to come. God Bless you for all that you do!

Our Prayers goes out to the Bywaters Family,Sister Bywaters was a true woman of God,and her action was that of the true and living God! She will be miss.

To The family of Mrs. Yvonne Bywaters:

I was sadden to hear of her passing, my condolences goes out to you. I work with Mrs. Bywaters at J.S. Chick, she always spoke of her family and shared the knowledge of her culture. May God continue to give you strength during your time of need.

We were sadden to hear the loss of your love one, Mrs. Bywaters. She was our elementary librarian at J.S. Chick. She will be dearly missed by her friends and family.

When I first heard of Yvonne's passing, I thought of how much her beautiful smile and happy personality will be greatly missed.  She never met a stranger.  I'll always remember how she loved to bargain at my garage sales.  She was a great person.  May you find comfort in knowing she will be truly missed.
