Yvette's story really hit home for me. My mom passed in 2018 from ovarian cancer. She didn't complain. She did most of her own funeral arrangements and I helped with the rest. She only wanted one day to view her body then the funeral. She didn't want a wake. She wanted to be cremated. she asked us to keep her condition private when the doctors gave her six months, but she died in four. Went to church spent time with family and close friends in her last days.. I miss her so but she gives me the strength I need to keep going. RIP MAMA 9-21-66 TO 11-27-18 🙏❤️

I love the way how you did this one and I had loved Good Times and the Jefferson's and All In The Family and then in the 90's I remember seeing Yvette on Def Comedy Jam when Martin Lawrence was hosting the show and I most definitely loved the show Martin as well and the Parkers and I was shocked when she had passed away and all of them shows were great Rest In Peace Yvette and Mike Evans those shows will live on!❤️

🤍💎🫶🏽🕊️ Thank you CU for this awesome bio on Yvette and Michael Evans. I watched Showtime at The Apollo faithfully and Moesha and the Parker's and all of the dope shows back in the day. If it's not broke, don't fix it. I love watching the re-runs. I watched Def Comedy Jam back in the day too. I watched All In The Family and I love the Jefferson's. Sleep In Paradise, Yvette and Michael. Thank you for your contributions Yvette and Michael. What's up my CU family I hope everyone is doing good and staying safe warm and healthy. 🤍🤍🤍🤗

[@applepie1923]

There was never a Go Fund Me account made for her because go fund me came out in 2013. She died in 2012. Her husband was trying to get money for her care because they didn’t have it. If EVERYBODY from Moesha help out by giving money towards her care things would have been different. Would she have still died? Probably so, but please quit thinking that everybody on hit sitcoms cares and loves each. Most of the time it’s not like that. TV is not real, death is. I really love your channel and you do such a good job doing it. I didn’t correct you to be mean but the truth is the truth. Have a great day.

Esther Rolle did the right thing demanding on GOOD TIMES Florida Evans have a husband/father in the house.

Could you please make a video about more gone but not forgotten celebrities from the 80s/90s?

[@BassGods]

Lol Funny! I was just watching the 1973 movie "Voyage of the yes" starring Mike Evans yesterday. He hitchicked in that movie. That must have been his thing. And also, not to mention he was in the Movie "The House on Skull Mountain", which dealt with witchcraft and Voodoo. Maybe doing that movie had something to do with his daughter experiencing strange going ons in his house. That's just a thought. There have been stories of actors experiencing strange events, after doing movies that delt with witchcraft, Excorcism's and Voodoo. Just a thought.
