Praying that God will comfort you as you grieve the loss of your mother. I hope the memories of happy times, and the love and support shared as a family bring you smiles of joy and warmth in your heart.

On behalf of the Dominican Alumni our deepest condolence and our prayers for the family.

We extend our deepest sympathy to the family. Over the years that we knew Evelina on a business level, we came to know what a kind loving person she was. She always took time to chat with us and bring us up to date on her beloved family members - sometimes sharing photos. She has a special place in our hearts. From the Lamb Family

Dear Yvonne and Family, Your mother was a beautiful, kind woman, who loved her family, God and her friends. I will always remember her kindness. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Very Sincerely, Eva Filidei Cavazos

Yvonne Turner- You we're an important fixture in the life of BHS students when I attended. I remember your dad being a physician who was spoken of highly. I am sorry for the loss of your dear mother.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I’m so very thankful for the wonderful memories I have of my sweet Aunt Evelina and so thankful I was able to see her last summer. I find solace knowing she was happy and loved. She is now reunited with her beloved Dr. Paul and beautiful sweet Teri, Carrie, Granny and Grandpa - what a big greeting she received. Hasta que nos encontremos de nuevo. - Dawn Murillo Bush

Our loving sister, Evelina, has left us. We all will miss our sister and friend. Now, she is with her beloved Paul and Teri. With all of our love, rest in peace dear sister.

My deepest sympathies for Yvonne de Mesquita, dearest friend, and entire family of Evelina Bueno de Mesquita, at this time of passing. The sweetest thought is that dear "Aunt" Evelina is with her beloved Dr. Paul, and the light and love they shared with us on earth surrounds them in Heaven always. They are forever in our hearts and memories. Their profound love and caring for all of us is an eternal blessing we now all share. Amen.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
