We are so sorry to hear about Laurie. She was so fun, always the brightest upbeat person. I know your memories will bring you comfort always. Dave and Sandy
Why did Jen cross the road? To go to Lori's house of course. I was 2 years old, she was 3. She was the older girl, the one I looked up to, the reason I survived growing up on Cache Bay rd in Springer township. She was my first friend, she’s known me the longest. So many memories of us dancing to the Grease soundtrack, the Bee Gees, Fame, to anything and everything. Adventures in the woods behind my place, Skating on rink at Pie XII school, neighbourhood hide and seek ...I could go on. She was my line to cable t.v., Days of Our Lives, 20min workout, Happy days, The Dukes (all the programs I was never allowed to watch). With our young eyes and minds, we learned the ways of the world. For a many good years, there was very little I did without her very little she did without me. The people that we grow up with, that spend time with us in our youth have a most powerful influence and they live inside us forever. Lori is part of who I am today no doubt about it. Although for sometime we have been far far from being just across the street from one another, she never felt like she was far away. I will not be able to say enough or write exactly what she meant to me, I will not be able to convey what her death means to me. If I wait too long to write the perfect thing before I post this, I will likely never will. I am very sad that I won’t be there with John, and Dave and Andy, her precious kids and husband Chris. I am sad that I won’t be there to see all the people that she loved and that loved her. I am devastated that I could not say good bye. I know how important her family and community was to her. I know above everything else just loved. Love you Lor
Our sympathies to your family. Rick and Rita Johnson

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Lori Blair. As a teacher to both my children, Paige & Cody, Lori had a significant impact on their lives and education. I remember the enthusiasm and dedication Lori brought to the classroom, fostering a love of learning in all the students. Lori’s passion for teaching was evident in the way she engaged with her students, creating a positive and nurturing environment for learning. My children often spoke highly of Lori, sharing stories of the valuable lessons they learned and the genuine care they received. Lori's loss is deeply felt, not only by our family but also by the countless students and colleagues whose lives were touched by her presence. Lori's dedication to education and the positive influence she had on young minds will always be remembered. During this difficult time, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire Blair family. If there is anything we can do to offer support or assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out. May the memories of Lori bring comfort and strength to all who knew and loved her.
