I was saddened to read of the passing of a dear former neighbour. I lived next door to Sandy and Terry in Gordon Head and they were the most wonderful neighbours. Terry was a lady in the true sense of the word. She possessed a delightful sense of humour and always looked fabulous. We shared vegetables and recipes and even a few tears. The world was a better place for the life of Therese Victoria. and her family will have many happy memories. Heaven will welcome her.
Please accept my deepest sympathy, Barbara
So sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved mother, Lynn.. Sending our condolenses to you and your family.

I think the first time I met Terry was at Chuck’s wedding, but it was the time Heather and I visited Terry and Sanday in Victoria, while I was on a job interview at UVic that I remember as my first impression: elegant, graceful, generous, and of course, lovely. We socialized occassionally after we moved to victoria, but lost touch after Sandy’s death (which I still mourn). We will hold Terry in our memories now. I wish the world had more people like her (and Sandy, Jean, Chuck…). We send our love and condolences to Ed and Grace.
Dear Barbara Harwood,
Thank you for sharing your memories and your lovely message of condolence on the loss of our mother, Terry Morrice. I am Terry’s daughter Lynn, and remember meeting you briefly many years ago when you were Mom and Sandy’s neighbour. They had many happy years in Gordon Head and I remember hearing about all their wonderful neighbours.
