Vicki was our next door neighbor and such a lovely person. Always smiling, so energetic, and just a really rare kind of bright light. We will really miss seeing her. We're really so sorry to all her family

Vicki's passing is a heartbreaking loss for so many, whether family or friends or colleagues. I met her as one of the founders of the Ontario Collaborative Law Federation and had many meetings throughout the years. I remember her dedication to the advancement of collaborative practice as a way to ameliorate the suffering of families undergoing separation. She will be missed. May she rest in peace.

It was with extreme sadness that I heard of the passing of Vicki, like her Mom and Dad, a young life gone far too soon. My heartfelt condolences go to her family and friends. May she rest in peace and comfort.

Dear Vicki´s Family,
We were deeply saddened to hear of Vicki´s passing. It is hard to put into words the sense of loss that comes with someone so vibrant and full of life being taken far too soon.
Vicki was truly an extraordinary person. She was not only a devoted and loving mother, but also a remarkable professional who stood strong as an advocate for women. She lived with purpose and integrity, setting an example that left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her.
Some of my most cherished memories go back to our childhood-those wonderful family vacations spent camping, and the special times at the Smith family cottage in the Muskokas. I can still remember the fun we had during Sunday dinners at Nan and Granddad´s, where family was always at the center of everything. Those moments shaped who we are, and Vicki was such an important part of them.
Later in life, Kathy and I had the pleasure of visiting Vicki and Craig at their beautiful cottage on Kennisis Lake. It was clear how much joy she found in their family and in the life she built. It meant so much to see our children connect as well, especially at the Smith family reunions-continuing that strong family bond that Vicki valued so deeply.
I always looked up to my cousin. She carried herself with strength, kindness, and grace, and she made a lasting impact on all of us. She lived well, stayed active, and showed what it means to truly invest in family and in others.
Please know that our thoughts are with all of you during this difficult time. We hope that the many wonderful memories of Vicki bring you comfort and strength in the days ahead.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Bill and Kathy Terry

Vicki was the first of us 12 grandchildren that were so beloved by Charlie and Gladys. Words cannot express the profound loss that is felt by all. Memories of Christmas's together as kids at Tottenham Road and family reunions with our kids come flooding back. it seems like only yesterday. Through the sadness and heavy heart one thing makes me smile, I can still hear her laugh.
You are holding you close in our thoughts and sending you our love as we grieve alongside you.

Vicki was a lifetime friend. I´ve known her since we were in grade 2. We shared a lifetime of memories-public school, high school, university, marriage, children, and grandchildren. No matter how long it was between visits, it always felt as though I had just spoken with her the day before. I was truly blessed to be able to call her my friend.
She was kind and compassionate with everyone. She was interested in other people. She was influential and a great leader. She inspired me in so many ways.
My heart is broken at her passing. Her loss is immeasurable and she will be missed terribly by all who knew and loved her. But she has left a large legacy in the work that she did and the family that she loved beyond words.
Sending loving thoughts and hugs to Craig, Alexa, Jamie and all her siblings- Patty, Judy, Donna and Marty.
May your shared memories and stories help sustain you all through this most difficult time. Remember her laugh and the joy she had in her life.

Vicki´s passing is a profound loss for her family and friends but also for the whole family law bar, both here in Ontario/Canada and internationally. She was a strong advocate for her clients and the establishment of the Collaborative Law movement. Litigating cases with her before she changed the emphasis of her practice was fun as well as instructive. Her personal warmth and the way she engaged with everyone will be missed most of all.

Victoria was a thoughtful and compassionate family lawyer who left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her. I had the privilege of knowing her as a fellow family lawyer. I´ll always remember a warm conversation we shared over coffee when we talked about how her daughter, Alexa, articled with my law firm, and discovered that her husband, Craig, had been my high school history teacher - both a reminder of what a small world it can be, and a reflection of Victoria´s genuine warmth and connection to others.
My sincere condolences to Alexa, Craig (aka Mr. Turner) and the entire family.

I know these pictures are not all of Vicki but I thought you might enjoy having some photos of Nan and Grandad Smith and of all the great memories from our family gatherings over the years.

My heart hurts for all of you. What a huge loss to all of us but especially to those closest to her. The void that Vicki will leave will be beyond measure. She truly was someone who would light up a room with her laugh and her smile, and she would make everyone in the room feel comfortable. I have so many great memories of our Toronto Smiths/Brockville Smiths/ Terry get togethers....as kids and as adults....and Vicki was frequently at the centre of it, always up for anything. I remember her playing the guitar and teaching all us cousins a song to sing for Nan and Grandad's 50th anniversary and needless to say, there were a few more-than- reluctant participants. But Vicki just kept on, reminding us how much Nan and Grandad would love it and sure enough, we all managed to learn the song to perform it that night and she was right....they DID love it. Please accept my heartfelt condolences to each and every one of you and know that I am thinking of you while you try to navigate this tremendous loss to your family.

My deepest condolences to Alexa and her entire extended family. I am deeply saddened by Victoria´s passing and will retain positive memories of her impact on my life.

I don´t know where to start. She was the leader of our pack! I can´t believe she´s gone. Eldest sibling and eldest cousin, leading by example and leading with love and encouragement. You always felt heard when you were talking to Vicki and she was always interested in what you were saying. You had her full attention and she got things done. Much like my beloved auntie Barb too. I´m really proud of the life that Vicki lead and I´m really happy for her and her family to have lived her life to the absolute fullest. But I am very sad for her grandchildren and for Vicki that she didn´t have more time with them. We love you all and our hearts go out to her entire family. This is one of those cases where we must celebrate that we had her in our lives, even though it was too short. Much love to you all, cousin Kim. PS do you think she has our parents all organized up there yet?
