Sad news

Today our good friend Gen, whom we had supper with on Saturday night, lost her mother to what we assume is a snorkelling incident down south. Yvette was a great person, very gentle, and she raised two amazing girls. We've known Gen and Mike for over 20 years, they're close friends to us. Yvette and Luc are great people and we always enjoyed their company. I don't have any pictures of Yvette but here are some of Gen that were taken Saturday night, and on my birthday.

Gen, our hearts are with you.

Police on the Caribbean island of Dominica say a Canadian tourist has died after a snorkeling outing from a cruise ship.

Divisional Commander Yvonne Alexander says 61-year-old Yvette Prince was with friends when she apparently started struggling in the water and then collapsed back on shore.

Alexander says CPR was administered on the scene but Prince was declared dead Tuesday after arriving at Princess Margaret Hospital.

Prince was from Quebec and was a passenger on the Norwegian Dawn cruise ship.
