Not sure what to say?

Dear Ted and Tom.
I remember your dear Yvonne with much affection, although I had not seen her for many years.
Long ago ,as relatives, we saw each other more often..
Today I was so saddened to hear of her death from Andrew. Too late, however to be present.
A truly great lady.
My thoughts are with you both.

Sincerely.
Janice Wills

A great loss to, amongst many things, the history of medicine. With sympathy, Judith Godden

Yvonne has been a tireless and inspiring Friend of the Library and we will miss her immeasurably.

Her warmth and energy shine through every one of my memories of Yvonne. For all the Friends who have known and worked with Yvonne for more years than I, those memories will be all the richer and the loss greater.

We offer our sincere condolences to Ted and Tom.

Dear Ted
Yvonne was such a towering presence in our lives - so many strings to her bow. With all her academic achievements and abiding humanism she leaves a legacy that will last forever. Thank you for sharing her with us and please accept our heartfelt condolences.

Prof Cossart managed effortlessly to teach and inspire all of us that passed through Infectious Diseases. We are richer for having known her, no matter how briefly, and the world is poorer for the loss. Robert and I offer our sincere condolences to her family.

I just can't believe that Yvonne has died. She has been an inspiration and help in many ways over many years.First with our similar careers, then with our common interest in medical history. Overcoming her own challenges, and helping others overcome theirs.Yvonne was a one-off and I will miss her immensely

So very Sorry to hear of Yvonne's passing ..our most sincere sympathy
