In 2023 Dallas and Terry invited us to stay with them on our North Island Roadtrip, a lovely home cooked meal awaited us upon arrival. I have very fond memories of Dallas, warm hearted, generous & loving. Sending all my love, my thoughts are with you Terry and all extended Family ❤️ Tatiana from Austria

It feels like such a shock to lose a person so full of energy and enthusiasm , not least because she always looked 20 years younger. Dallas was a very special person, just about everything you would want in your ideal relative (other than being on the other side of the world). Kindness first, but with fun and humour and so very astute. She has been an incredible great aunt to Otto and Willow. Visiting Otto with his broken leg, dealing with homework sagas on holiday and while so far away and with so much to deal with herself, going out of her way to support them. I have always loved my time with Dallas , she is so clever and knowledgable but entertaining and gentle with it. I wish i could have been there for the funeral but also wish that i could have had one last visit with her. Her lovely personality lives on in her children and for the generations to come. I send my love to Terry, Fran, Maria and Simon. Kate x

Aunty Dallas, thank you for influencing my life at an early age. An early memory of you holding my hand, taking me to primary school and Uncle Terry teaching me to ride a bike. Thank you. Our conversations as adults will be held and cherished for years to come. Love to you, Uncle Terry, Fran, Maria and Simon and your families. So sorry I could not make it to celebrate in Dallas celebration of life today. Love Tracey and Neal.

Many fond memories of Dallas from the earliest years of our lives. From family holidays, weekends in Whakatane and Tauranga, to her help getting me through School Cert economics with a special weekend tutoring session. A special lady and part of a very special family. Our thoughts are with you all. With love, Jono, Karina & family

Dallas, you have been someone that we have inspired by constantly. We have the best memories of being with you and your family. We love you always Sasha, Matthew, Lesley, Finn and Leo Xxxxxxx

Dallas you were always interesting and fun to be with and we enjoyed your warm greetings whenever we met up. We will miss you Dallas and our thoughts are with you Terry and family. Te aroha me te tauko.

I loved meeting you and Terry on my visit to New zealand. You both made me so welcome and took Sally and I to Waitangi day early in the morning, what an experience that was. Then you invited us to your lovely house for dinner, what a lovely evening we had, I've got so many beautiful memories of meeting you and family and cannot believe what you have been through and that I will never see you again. I have been hearing about your struggle and been thinking of you and wonder how Terry will cope without you, 💔 😕 all my love from virginia in gravesend, England xx

Very saddened to hear of Dallas’s passing. She was such a vibrant, intelligent and caring person who contributed so richly to education in NZ and the lives of so many. May many happy memories of this exceptional woman bring comfort to you Terry and whanau. Arohanui.
