A stong and beautiful soul has left this earth far too early. We were supposed to grow old together and have many more adventures, card games, and stories to tell. I know all of us will truly miss our friend, mother, sister, daughter, grandmother– She meant so much to many of us. I know all of us will hold her memory in our hearts and she will never be forgotten. Sincere condolences to all
Dear Cory, Keith, and all who loved Sharon,
I am so sorry that I cannot attend today’s funeral. Sharon was a part of my life since I was three years old and, at times, was like my second Mom. She was one of the strongest women that I have ever met. My entire family loved her and we will all miss her terribly. I am so very sorry for your loss.
Shannon & Family
My deepest condolences for your mom’s passing. I had an opportunity to be one of the many that spent time golfing with her…she certainly was passionate about it!! Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend today’s funeral because I’m out of the country.

So sorry for your loss. Sharon was a lovely woman who I enjoyed working with in my early days as an ultrasound tech. We stayed in touch all these years and talked at length about her diagnosis. She was very positive in the early days and had a great faith in Jesus. I know she is without suffering now. The earth will be a little dimmer without her.
