Some of you may know her and some may recognise her from her TV work. She's an actress. Back in '99 she was a patient in Shortland Street. She also did a couple of episodes in Xena in 2000. She did a commercial last year (I think) as the foreign exchange student who stayed with a rugby fanatic family drinking Maggi Soup. Last year she filmed an episode for Orange Roughies as the Madamme Crystal Yo. This showed about 2 weeks ago.It was about one year ago when Yvonne discovered she had cancer. She fought it, had several treatments, but ultimately the cancer won. This cancer was quite potent. One cluster dies off but another one pops up.
The doctor initially said she only had a couple of months to live - this was around October last year. But Yvonne managed to fight and hold on. Eventually her body couldn't take the treatments any longer and her energy dropped. She ended up bedridden a little more than a month ago. She could still talk and smile but it got worse some days and she drifted in and out of sleep.
A few weeks ago she was admitted into a hospice. A few days ago, around thursday, she slipped into a coma and finally today she passed away.

sympathies to her loved ones. that's one warm maggi soup.
Though we have never always seen eye to eye, we always knew we can always count on each other. I will miss you, my friend, my lil sis.
Thanks a lot for the post
