We will always hold her dear in our hearts.

Dear Mr and Mrs Eaton and family,
I was so saddened to hear the news of Terry.
Today Carol Flynn and I remembered fondly our childhood memories of our days together with Terry at Centennial pool, being driven to morning practices in the Volkswagon bug, the many camping trips with Terry in her pop-up trailor and doing crafts with Mrs Eaton at her dining room table. We remembered what an accomplished swimmer Terry was, her smile and her great sense of fun. I know that there is little I can say or do during this difficult time, but please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Thinking of you all.

Hello Debby, Mr and Mrs. Eaton: I am so, so saddened by Terry's passing. I last saw Terry on Queensland Beach two summers ago, when she spotted me and made it a point to come over and chat. She seemed so happy to see me and we had a great chat, catching up on family news, especially our kids. She was her usual cheerful self and I commented on this to my husband, that despite her challenges, she always managed a smile. Terry Eaton was a household name in the Flynn family through all those swimming years- we all remember her soft voice, her wonderful smile and her petitness! :) I know that you will all miss her very much. I hope that your very special memories will help in the healing process.Know that the Flynns are all thinking of her, her children and you at this time. Mary-Lou (Flynn) Donnelly, Ottawa, Ontario

I have lots of great memories of Terry on the swim team, carpooling with us at 5 in the morning to train hard at the Centennial Pool, hanging out with Carol, Peggy and me at our house. Terry had such a beautiful smile. I am so sorry for your loss. I regret that I am not in Halifax to pay my respects to the Eaton family. Janie (Flynn) McCall, Calgary, Alberta.
