To all of the Kolander Clan please know that my heart is with each and every one of you. Nanny helped mold me into the woman I am today and she will always hold the most amazing place in my heart. I am HONORED that she was chosen as my Godmother. An amazing woman who shined with love for every single one of you. I am so proud that she considered me part of her family and I know that my Mom was blessed in so many ways to have her as her best friend for so many years. I love you all VERY much.

Many people knew her as Yvonne or Mrs. Kolander. To me, she is always "Billy's Mom". When she spent the weekend at our home once, I told her that she raised one of the most kind hearted, gentlest and optimistic men I have ever known. After getting to know her, I saw how Billy inherited those traits. What greater legacy can there be for her time on earth than to have raised children who loved her immensely and who will continue to make her proud, while she watches over them from her well deserved place in heaven. We love you with hearts and souls, Billy and Emy.

Lisa Broussard

So sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers with your family.

Billy, I only met your mom a handful of times but it was always a joy to be in her presence. She was truly a beautiful woman inside and out and I know her absence will be deeply felt by the many lives she touched. We send you much love and many prayers.

Jaton Pittard

I was only around "Nanny" as she was so humbling referred to a couple of times. In that short period of time it did not take long to realize what a truly incredible women she was. and that her grandchildren loved and admired her. Cody, Lori, Christie, and the rest of the family, I am so very sorry for the tremendous void in your lives in the loss of this astonishing women.

Chris and Courtney Curbow

Billy, may your mom rest in peace. I know she left behind many wonderful memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Emy, and the rest of your family.

I have told this story many times: when our family found out in 1969 that a family with five kids was moving across our mostly quiet street from us, we voiced the proverbial saying-Great, there goes the neighborhood! Well, we were wrong. Yvonne, James and those kids became part of our family and still are to this day. You couldn't ask for any better neighbors. Yvonne (Mrs. Kolander back then) put up with our teenage shenanigans with mostly calmness. We watched as she became teacher, administrator, school board member and then back to just plain Mrs. Kolander, although plain isn't the word for her. She was one of the most interesting people I knew. When I moved back into the family home after many years away, she became not only my neighbor again, but my friend. We used to talk about many diverse subjects including books, politics, UFO's and even out of body experiences. We used to sit on her back porch rocking and watching the beautiful sunsets. A light went out on Attaway Road Wednesday--the sun had finally set on a beautiful life. Yvonne will be missed fondly by so many, but with a legacy such as hers, it doesn't get much better than that.

Words cannot express our heart-felt condolences with the passing of your mother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We lost an amazing soul with Ms. Yvonne’s passing. She was always such a positive person and was a pleasure to be around. Always ready with a warm meal, or a warm place to stay. There are so many memories of her when we were growing up. Her love for life, knowledge and family and friends was an inspiration to all. Rest in Peace Mrs. Kolander. Gone but never forgotten, always in our hearts.

Mrs. Kolander was my Language Arts teacher in the seventh grade at Henderson Middle School. She had a love for her students and inspired me to become a teacher. I can still recall some of the stories she would share with us. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. May you find comfort in knowing she is among the Angels and our Father's feet.

Bert and Patsy Fontenot
