I was saddened to find out just today about Bonnie's passing.  We we're childhood friends, back in the day.  I remember when she and her family lived on Pine St. in Hamilton.  We would rake up all the leaves and hide in them to jump out at passing neighbors.......we had a hoot.  She and Al introduced my husband and I as a blind date - I am happy to say we are edging up on our 50 anniversary together.  I guess they saw a pretty good match in the two of us.  I got to know her parents and brothers and sister Sandra quite well.  Will miss them all.  My sincere condolences to Bonnie's three daughters and the many friends she left behind.
I am so sorry for your loss and so shocked to hear of Bonnie's passing. I worked with Bonnie at the old Henderson Hospital on Ward 376 in the 80's.  She introduced me to my now husband in 1982. Bonnie loved life, complaining and laughter. She had a laugh like no other. She was very focused on work until she became a mom and then her girls became her everything. She has left us all with so many memories and fun times, she will always be remembered. My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family.
So sorry for your loss. Shannon cared so deepy for her mother.

What a pleasure it was to have known Bonnie.  Working with her for 15 years, she became a part of my everyday life.  We sure did do a lot of complaining and joking and laughing throughout those years.  We talked about being single mothers (especially the teen years!) and the "pleasures" of working retail.  I'll remember Bonnie with that mischievous smile of hers and her frequent laughter.  Love ya Bon
My deepest condolences to the entire Fair family. Although I did not know Bonnie, I am good friends with her daughter Megan. Bonnie sounded like an amazing mother and person. Always cherish the memories of the time spent with her. As long you hold onto those thoughts and feelings, Bonnie will forever be there with you through all of life's ups and downs.

I remember staying for dinner one evening. The five of us were all sitting around the table when Bonnie broke into song singing "You are my sunshine". We all held hands and joined in and had a good laugh before eating.
I remember all the great times Bob and I enjoyed with Bonnie in our younger years when they would come to Cobourg and we went to many Halloween parties and playing games at the dining room table! Bob and Bonnie shared the same birthday, a few years in between.  I know he would have been waiting to greet her with love and laughter.  She will be greatly missed but I know she is in a better place and her suffering has ended❤️
I first met Bonnie when she came into a program I was running for single parent families at my church. It was really good to get to know Bonnie along with Shannon, Maggie and Megan. I remember talking to Bonnie when I would see her where she worked at Shoppers Drug Mart as well as at church and she was always smiling even when things weren't necessarily going great.  Her love for her girls, her dogs and those she cared about endeared her to many. She was a bright light and though we are glad her earthly suffering is over, she is gone too soon.  Praying for God's comfort, peace and love to surround family members at this sad time.
We are grateful to have known Bonnie and her warm and loving spirit. Our sincere condolences and prayers.
I was so sorry to hear about Bonnie's passing. Her life was a blessing to all who knew her. She was always so generous and caring and she had great strength of spirit. Thank-you for making it possible to participate in the celebration of her life through the Zoom connection. Praying God's comfort for you in the difficult days ahead. 
Sharing a favourite memory from a call I had with Bonnie after Christmas. When Bonnie was living on Kerman Ave. with the girls in Grimsby I had called her after finishing the Christmas dinner complaining about how difficult it was to clean the roasting pan. Bonnie laughed and said I just put mine out in the backyard and let the birds pick it clean. I'll never forget it and it still makes me laugh to this day. Bonnie and I go back to when we were in our 20s before the children we born. 
Bonnie, our sister-in-law was a very kind and generous person.  Our special memory we have is our daughter, Tonya was getting married and we really wanted my Mom from Ontario to attend the wedding in BC, but she couldn't travel alone.  Bonnie agreed to let Megan, who was only 15,  travel with my Mom.  We will always be grateful to Bonnie.  Our hearts go out to Shannon, Megan, Maggie and my brother Alan.
I've always loved hearing the stories about Bonnie and her dogs. What a sweet (and hilarious) soul! Though the world is a little dimmer without her light, it has also been made far better through the three wonderful women she raised. We will miss her here on earth, but look forward to celebrating with her again one day in Heaven.
Bonnie brought joy with her wherever she went. She was simultaneously tender yet strong. Gentle, but always with a robust sense of humour. I’m sure she is lighting up heaven as we speak. She will be missed by all who knew her, and our family sends you all our love and know that we are lifting you all up in prayer in this heartbreaking time. 
We were watching a movie and the end credits listed the song "Boogie Nights" and she just randomly broke out in song and dancing from the waist up while sitting on the couch. We all had a good laugh and this story was brought up many times afterwards.
