Yvonne and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I knew John to be quite the gentleman and easy to talk with during the time y'all lived in Houston. Praying for peace and comfort for you during this difficult time. Joanne Slovacek, former Co-worker of Yvonne's at the University of Houston-Clear Lake.
I am so sad to hear that John has passed. I had several dinners and spent many nights in the Houston home of John and Yvonne. I especially remember the night that Carmen and her husband came over and made us Sushi.
Yvonne and I worked together at University of Houston - Clear Lake where we called her Yvie and I was Hilly, so people could differentiate us. We had some really fun times together.
Yvie, I want you to know that you and your family are in my prayers.
Love you, Yavon (Hilly) Hill
Our family has been generously blessed by John and Yvonne many times.My parents, Tetease and Uncle Phil, were invited to rest and spend time in their home while Uncle Phil went thru repeated visits for three years while battling cancer. Road weary after 4 hour drive John could bring forth laughter and hospitality. Kim and David were of course part of the sunshine of their home.
Highschool years for me meant a camp counselor job and during that time Yvonne and My Momma found ways to spend the days and stir adventure for my one day off a week . Card games and laughter filled the house, along with my brothers Jack and Stephen.
Family is GIFT. Gratitude is Gift to the Heart as Memories tumble into view. So grateful Yvonne and John came to visit in Manhattan Beach, California.... So Grateful I attended Kim's wedding with my Mom. So grateful Jack and I are able to pay tribute to John and Yvonne and the Lifegiving Presence they always extended.
Life goes by so quickly when thinking backwards...The daily ongoing routines when we are rearing families and working, Loving God and living.
God Bless you, John, Yvonne, Kimberly and David. God Bless your families.
God Bless us Everyone!!

My prayers are with you all in your time of sorrow. I pray God brings you peace and comfort in all of your memories.
