Blair was always so easy-going, friendly, and positive that one never would have known he was ill. Indeed, he seemed to be one of those shining few who truly love life. Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss, and may you eventually find healing and peace in your loving memories. Linda Sato Swendsen tredj@msn.com We were so sorry to hear about Blair. He was one of the sweetest people we knew. We are going to miss him. We are sending our love and prayers to Shawna and his children. Kimberly Boyd (Taylor & Jordan Boyd) kboyd@cableone.net Amidst our very sad emotions, we have very recent happy memories of raising our kids with the Scott family. After putting home movies on DVD for Christmas this year, we spent the last few weeks watching great times with Blair, Shauna, Lindsey, and Garrett with our family. Summer bbq's, the kids making the 'death run' across John Adams, playing on swing sets and swimming pools! And every time the camera panned to Blair, some sound piece of advice or humor! We are so lucky to have had these friends and neighbors to share our lives with. Blair was such a great example for all of us, and we will miss him! Bill & Glenda Ebberts Valley Junction - Challis We are very sorry to hear of Blair's passing, and would like you to know what a joy Blair was for us to work with. From the first time we met Blair in 1999, we have felt that Blair was always looking out for us and our business. We know that Blair fought a hard battle, and we know that his family shared in that battle. If there is anything we can do to help you at this time, please know that we would be glad to. Condolences from Bill, Glenda, and the staff at Valley Junction Grocery & Deli William Patrick Boyd boydpatric@yahoo.com Shawana, Danielle, Lyndsay and Garrett . . .

If I can do anything, please contact me at my e-mail address, mcgoo@cableone.net. Again, I'm so sorry, I wish you best. Michael V. McDonald Rachel Chase [RChase@Melaleuca.com] Dear Scott Family, It was with much sadness I heard of Blair's passing. Although I only ran into him every several years, he always acted like he had just seen me the day before. He had the best smile and twinkle in his eyes. He was always genuinely glad to see you. I remember the last time I saw him was at my own brother Blake's funeral. I was in the foyer at the church for the friends and family meal served. I saw him come walking down the hall. He immediately came to me and gave me the warmest caring hug. He asked me what the heck had happened to Blake. He asked because he cared about Blake and it was very easy for me to relay this story to Blair. I will forever remember this last meeting with Blair and how much it meant to me. What a fight he must have put up. Please know the everyone will be in my thoughts and prayers. Rachel Berret Chase Richard W. McCracken richm@gvii.net Shawna - We were so sorry to hear of Scott's passing. Our heart's go out to you and your family. If there is anything we can do, please let me know. Richard & Kim McCracken Mickey David spudalley@yahoo.com Dear Ebony and Family, I just heard about Blair and I am so sorry. I remember him as Ebony's little brother who was so fun to tease way back when when I spent the night at the Scott house. Please know I am thinking about you all. --Mickey
