Yvonne Nichols Death And Obituary – Today I’m very sad , the wonderful artist Yvonne Nichols passed away last night
I am not sad for Yvonne, I am relieved for her . I’m relieved that her suffering has come to an end .
Yvonne spent the last 18 months dealing with lung cancer . By the time they figured out what was happening to her it was too late to mount any real opposition.
Like the strong independent woman that she was she handled it with humbleness and grace .
In the end it moved swiftly and she spent the last week of her time here on earth at the Hospice , Andy’s place .
I can’t say enough about their kindness and care, she was very grateful and appreciative.
So I am not sad for Yvonne , I’m sad for me , I’m sad for her beautiful family, I’m sad for all the people who didn’t have the chance to know her.
Mostly I’m sad I have lost my good friend .
I will miss all of our visits together and her sage guidance and wisdom.
Yvonne was a master gardener and was instrumental in helping create the gardens at Auburn.
I will think of her often as the seasons change and new blooms come to light .
