	Sue, Berona e-mailed me about the photo's you sent of your visit here. She was so excited and said that it made her feel as though she was included, in meeting us all. I well remember when we first met, and went for lunch outside Dolthingy thinking "if only Berona were her too" it was as if someone was missing :-)

	I couldn't let Berona's friends see the sad news on here first. Persie also made sure some people found out first. I emailed Berona on occasion with any news or stories to keep her up to date. She always with responded with much pleasure. However the email she enjoyed the most was the story of our trip to see you Tec. I sent her photos of the village, the place we stayed for a couple of nights and the scenery along the way. I described the beautiful views of the ocean. All this she loved and said I had made her feel she was there. However the photos that pleased her the most was the one where we are together outside your house. She said it made her very happy to see us together.

	Yes Sue, I reiterate what Linda said. It would have been awful just to suddenly read the news. Thank you.

	Hello Sue, If Berona's daughter is in the South Pacific it could be difficult to get a flight to Sydney straight away, depending where she is. It is so very strange, sadly I never met Berona, and yet, I feel that had she landed on my doorstep I would have known her straight away.

	Hello Sue, thank you for making sure we knew before you posted, it was really considerate of you <3

	I am devastated by this news. I just can't believe we won't see her witty comments on here. I am concerned about Berona's daughter as this cruise was to help her relax after some health issues. I do hope this won't set her back. Oh dear - the phone call everyone dreads when being away :-( Thank you for everyone's kind comments - Berona will be missed by so many people.

	Oh goodness yes, I had forgotten that, her daughter hadn't been well either and Berona hoped the cruise would do her good

	It is not silly Linda. I was thinking about Kitty, Berona's cat. She loved that cat, it was her constant companion. I hope that one of her children will take Kitty home, maybe her grand daughter will adopt it. I feel so sorry for Berona's daughter, who I believe left on a cruise the other day. She will be wanting to get home from wherever.

	It is the end of a sad day. I know it is silly, but I am worried that no one will water her pots It is sad to lose anyone, but I am glad that she was able to be living at home and went really quickly with no stays in hospital
