Sending love, thoughts, and prayers to you and your family during this tough time.
Dear Ash, George, Leanne and Kelly,
I am so terribly sorry for your loss.
Though I never had the privilege of meeting her, I understand what an amazing woman she was. Losing a spouse/mother is an immense loss, and my heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time.
I understand that she left surrounded by your love and and she was able to also express/show you how much she loved you. I hope that you will find comfort in the cherished memories you shared together and in the part of her that lives on through you.
I'm here for you, offering my support and heartfelt condolences
Sending all of my love and thoughts to George, Leanne, Kelly, Ash and Marie.
May Yvonne's spirit now be free and fly higher than her much loved Wedge-tailed eagle.
Love Kerry xx
Dear Uncle George, Leanne, Kelly, Ash and Marie.
I am sending you all love and hugs, and thinking of you all during this time.
I have many fond memories of Aunty Yvonne from back in Bagshot with Leanne when I was younger, to a later trip to Australia when we first visited Launching Place and had many adventures out in the local area, like Healesville Sanctuary. I remember being fascinated by the small chickens on the farm or 'Chooks' as she called them, looking at the lake (the dam) and seeing the beautiful rolling fields and Yarra river.
A solo trip to Australia a few years later saw me welcomed into the Virgona home once again where there was always a safe place to stay, food on the table and wildlife (including spiders) that I certainly wasn't used to, with camping adventures to the Murray River and Lake Eildon.
A last minute visit last year when things weren't looking so great was a blessing for me to get to see you again in person Aunty Yvonne. Once again you came back fighting. I loved our video call recently in March and the wisdom you shared with Chloe and I for life ahead. I will forever be grateful that you re-kindled your relationship with my Dad and that, as a result, I have got to have known you and your beautiful family. For now I say goodbye until one day I can say hello to you again.
Lots of Love

I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Yvonne for many years. She was an awesome person and nurse who would help anyone. It was my pleasure to have worked along side her and knew her as an amazing nurse, wife and mother. My thoughts are with you George, Leanne,Kelly and Ash through this difficult time.
Always respectful and generous.
Our deepest condolences to George and family.
A reminder that life's strings don't last forever.
What a woman! She was a warrior, strong, dependable and always there to listen if you needed a caring ear. Yvonne was a friend who I have known over 20 years. We've worked together, had long extended breakfasts together, shed tears together and liked the good old gossip with each other. She has helped me through some tough times with her good advice and we have had many laughs shared. I will miss you my friend. George, Leanne, Kelly, Ash and Marie she loved you so much xxxx

Dear Kelly, George, Leanne, Ash, Marie,
Deepest condolences for the loss of your beloved mum & wife.
What an amazing & strong person she was. Her legacy, love for the farm & strength will live on.
Kelly may not like me saying this but she has a similar grit & determination as her mum! Nothing but a good trait to have in my eyes, good women that ain’t afraid of hard work!
Hold the beautiful memories close to your heart & know she’s at peace watching over you all (and the cows) always.
