Yvonne’s Memorial Bench

Post by Scott Sebring »

Here's the recent article we just put up on Yvonne's site about her memorial bench in Santa Monica and a word from her family about it.

Call me old fashioned but seems a bit rude to me to park your butt on a memorial.

I get where you're coming from, but the making of a memorial bench is a long standing tradition that gives the people seated on the bench time to quietly reflect on the subject of the memorial. Trust me, there's nothing dishonorable about it.

Maybe it's different in the UK but all the memorial benches I've ever seen have had the dedication on the back rest, not the seat.

There is nothing dis-honorable about this bench. The name placement is on the outer edge, so, nobody would probably sit on the name anyhow. This looks really nice. Thanks Scott for posting this For all of us fans to see.
