Jesus said unto her, “I am the resurrection, and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live. Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” John 11: 25-26
Kelsye Halliwell
Mrs. Yvonne Owens was truly a woman who knew the Lord and it showed every day of her life. I grew up with Bro. Bob, Yvonne and their family at church and as dear friends. Yvonne was the most loving, compassionate and giving ladies I have ever known! She will be missed by her family and a multitude of friends she has met along her earthly journey! Mrs. Yvonne, I know you are playing the piano and singing God’s Praises in Heaven. Until we meet again my sweet friend, watch over all of us! I love you!
I’m asking God to be with you as you lay Yvonne Owens to rest. She was your Wife, Sister, Mother, Grandmother and Friend. Sweet BonBon Is at Peace. Heaven rejoices her homecoming, but I know you have such mixed feelings. My heart is with you as you mourn the loss of one so special and kind. She lived a productive, giving life. Now, God says, “Well done my Good and Faithful Servant.” Sending prayers for your comfort snd peace.
With my heartfelt sympathy, Marla Wood
Yvonne was a special lady in Christ. Memories of years ago. Years ago we came to your church with Brother Owens being pastor. We shall meet again.
