At a special meeting of the Cook County Board of Commissioners, everyone's thoughts were centered on Yarbrough, the former Cook County clerk, who was remembered for her years of dedicated public service. "I want to thank her for her personal friendship and advice, which she was always quick to give. As many of you know, she didn't bite her tongue," Cook County President Toni Preckwinkle said.
"The final life lesson that my big sister taught me in the game of life is how to die with dignity," Cheryl Renfro said. "I loved my sister, Karen.""We had the privilege of witnessing her cast the deciding vote on two landmark decisions, one which was ending the executions in Illinois and banning indoor smoking," Cook County Commissioner Stanley Moore said.
