To the sisters of st Joseph and Yvonne’s family, it was with sadness that I read of the death of our dear friend Yvonne. Yvonne was the goddaughter of my mum, Joyce and I have many happy memories of her visits to our family. She put into my head that religious life was possible! Thanks Yvonne, rest in joy and peace, love Kathryn
