She taught me music and the parties at home which were hosted by Yvette and Yasmin in the late 70's and early 80's were great. She was an inspiration to us all.

Mrs. Yaralli in the class became Auntie Barbara in her home. I can still smell her wonderful cuisine, hear her rich alto voice and see her smiling face on that baked ham commercial that used to play at the Shirley Street theatre. Seems like centuries ago now. When Roy died, that was the first funeral I ever recollect going to. Seems like the last chapter has been written now. We are all going to miss her terribly.
