  13. Our deepest condolences are extended to John and his immediate and extended family members for the very sad loss of Terry, a wonderful wife and mother to her family.

    We will always remember Terry very fondly as a lovely neighbour for 6 years, always happy to give a wave and a smile and an occasional chat as she struggled much with her incoming health issues.

    I also remember Terry as a beautiful and vibrant, vivacious, very friendly, caring and supportive nurse at Colac Hospital, and loved very much by all whom she attended and worked with.

    You are now at rest dear lady, with no more suffering as you rest in the comforting loving arms of your ever loving God.

    Another glorious rose has been hand picked to adorn His Heavenly Garden.

    Sending much love and many hugs to you all as you mourn the loss of dear Terry.
