Looking back in time. Metcha Yvonne and Petcha Leon Van Braeckel in front. In back: Prudent Athemar Van Braeckel, Yvette Van Braeckel-Bulckaert, Jean Van Braeckel. Nice looking family . Tante Yvette was quite a beauty, comforting and kind. Dad was a horsewhisperer - healer like Petcha. Uncle Johnny was fun and liked to party like Metcha. Petcha loved to go to church. Metcha and Tante Yvette loved to bake. Did they all get involved in archery? Yvette too? The world misses those in this photo now on the Other Side, helping as guardian angels. What a homecoming party Tante Yvette must be having in Heaven. Those still here celebrate life well lived. Je t'aime Tante Yvette!

Sending condolences to the Bulckaert family. With growing up in a small community, you got to know where everyone lived. It also helped that Judy was the same age as my sister. I got to know Yvette a little when I worked at The Village. She had stories to share about archery shoots and playing cards with the Verstraete's. But when her daughter's or grandchildren came for a visit she was nothing but smiles and happy to share with everyone that she had her family in for a visit. Treasure the memories that you have of your mom, they will help you get through the days ahead.
