Dear Dan, Drew, and family:
We were so distraught to hear belatedly of Kathy's passing, as she was always a bright and shining member of the Poirier family. Never boastful, but always excelling in whatever she took on. Our deepest sympathy.

Our Prayers are their for Kathleen Poirier's families and friends

I will always remember Kathy's leadership with the Jr. Band at SLHS in the late 70's, as one of her students. I am sad to hear of her passing. Thoughts & Prayers to the family.

My family and I (and - I see - many of my kids' friends) were so deeply saddened to learn of Kathy's illness and passing.  She taught my children in elementary school back in the 90's (the Lacosse girls - Amanda, Dana & Serena - and Darel McRae).  They all adored her, and she was a Godsend and great ally to me - a single, working mom new to Cornwall.  

I have been asked to share with you what I posted on Facebook when we heard:  "Yes, it IS very sad - the world has lost a genuinely caring and giving person, and a gifted teacher. You guys had a lot of teachers over the years but there are a few who will always have a special place in my heart - she was one of those. We were all very fortunate to have known her!  Even when I would see her after you had all moved away, she still remembered me and asked about all of you by name. Remarkable!  RIP Kathy; you deserve it!" 

I hope it is some comfort to your family to know that Kathy will always be fondly remembered by ours and we do - truly - share your loss.

So sorry Drew and family for your loss. We are here if you need anything. My heart goes out to you Drew. I know what our moms mean to us and how hard it is when they are taken too soon. Love you guys xoxox. A donation to Cornwall Hospice will be made on our behalf in your mother's honor. I didn't know her well but Kathy was always very warm and welcoming. And now that will always be felt by those closest to her with even the slightest memory

Dear Karen, Drew & Family,  I have such fond memories of Cathy having worked with her at East Front.  I was very sad to hear the news of her passing.  Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

So very sorry for your loss. Kathy was a great lady. A very kind caring person.

Danny, I was saddened to hear of your loss. Kathy was a kind and generous person, with a wonderful smile. My sincere condolences to you and your family.

Dear Bob and family, 
Our deepest sympathies for your loss

To the Family,

Wish I had gotten to know Kathy more.  We spoke just a few times but I liked her from the start.
We met on the Pickleball court where she played a pretty aggressive and competitive game for the short while she was there.
She seemed to give everything she did and everyone  she met the best that she had.

My deepest condolences,
Jeannine Lemire

Used to spend lots of time at the Poirier house on Charles, as Drew and I grew up together.  The memories I have of those times are fond ones, due in large part to Mrs. Poirier's warmth.  She was always cooking for us and always smiling.
Drew and Mr. Poirier, I am so sorry for your loss.  My thoughts are with you and the rest of your family during this difficult time.

I will always remember Kathy's kind gentle spirit. She was a great music teacher and mentor, and I will always cherish the kindness she showed me. I am so sad to hear of her passing. Sending peaceful thoughts to all of you.

Words cannot express the sadness felt by everyone in my family. Kathy was a second mom to me and a blessing to everyone who was fortunate enough to have her in their lives. My deepest condolences to Dan, Drew and their whole extended family. I'm very regretful that we cannot be there to help during these trying times.

Dear Dan - Kathy and I were friends and fellow teachers at Viscount for many years. She taught my girls. I want to share with you and your family my memories of how happy she was the year she taught kindergaten half time. Boy those children were blessed. She would go out on her breaks and recess and sit and visit with the children. I know she was a gifted music teacher but my best memory of her was sitting on the stoop with the little guys. My prayers are with you. Marg Gordon

Anybody who knew Kathy would be hard-press to say anything negative about her. She was the ultimate nice person. So so sorry for your loss Dan. Thinking of you and please don't be a stranger.

                                                Reina and Dan ( Cornwall )

Such fond memories of Kathy, as we shared the end of a long hallway for several years.  Always kind, conscientious and generous - an utterly delightful colleague, friend and musician.  And her shy smile was simply unforgettable.

So saddened to hear of Kathy's passing. We were teaching colleagues at Central early in our careers and have remained friends ever since. Kathy will always be remembered as a talented musician and excellent teacher but more importantly a very special lady. We are all better people because you were able to impact our lives in so many ways. Our condolences to Dan, Drew and the rest of the family. Kathy, we will miss you greatly and you will always be remembered as one of the best.
Doug&Lyn Anderson

So sorry for your loss Danny. I will keep you in my prayers.

Growing up on Dunbar, I remember Kathy carrying very large musical instruments down the street. Later, she taught both of my children at Viscount where her Christmas concerts were always so special.  My condolences to all of Kathy's family.

We will always remember Kathy for her music and spirit many years ago in the Centennial Choir.  She was a joy and a treasure and we benefit from her example.  
John and Nancy Taylor

So sorry to hear of Kathy's passing. We were colleagues for many years at Viscount. Her Christmas concerts were amazing! All the kids loved her. Our sympathy to all the family.
John and Jennifer Adams

Kathy
As everyone will attest we had great times teaching together.
Your smile was contagious, your sense of houmour was inviting, and your music ability was above all expectations, you were a fantastic person and an excellent teacher.
Good bye Kathy and God bless!
Tom Green

Kathy, you have been a friend and colleague since before we went to Teachers' College and we taught at various times in the same school and in our teachers' training.  You brightened up a room for your colleagues and students and you will be remembered and missed.  You will be in our hearts now and forever.
David & Peggy McCleary

I am very sorry for your loss of a great mom, grandma, wife, sister, aunt, friend, musician.  She was very talented and will be greatly missed. Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles, the love.  
Jocelyn Savard

Kathy... one of the sweetest and caring people I was fortunate enough to know as a friend and a fellow teacher. Her talent as a music teacher was amazing and her love of music and the constant striving to do and be the best you can was always being instilled in her classes. She had a great smile and a great laugh she tried to contain and a deep love and passion for teaching. Those of us fortunate enough to know Kathy and to work with her were the lucky ones.
