  7. I and my partner met Yvonne on The Falkland Islands, of all places, part of a S. American cruise we were on back in 2010. We both took an instant liking to her and her friend, Joan. We have remained e-mail friends ever since, and had the good fortune to see Yvonne again in Melbourne in 2014. What a wonderful lady, I will never forget that smile and her dry sense of humour. I can just imagine how much you will all miss her and send my heartfelt condolences to Yvonne’s family and friends. What a privilege it was to meet her.
