How quickly the days move along and here we are once again offering a note to your family. I will remember Sharon as a young girl coming to "CCD'' classes at our Parish, Most Precious Blood in Dover. She always had a beautiful smile and was happy to be there with her friends and classmates.
She's never forgotten! May she continue to enjoy her heavenly rewards.

to Bill , Barbara, Keith and Sharon's husband, Rick,
We just learned about Sharon's passing from my son, Barry, who has been in touch with some of his friends from Dover.
I remember Sharon from the days when she came to the CCD classes with the kids from school on Wednesday afternoons to Most Precious Blood Church. Always a lovely young gal with a nice smile!! Our hearts are sad to know she isn't with you in person, yet believe her spirit lives on forever, and she now enjoys her eternal reward with loved ones who have gone ahead to the Lord. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Sharon was such a wonderful person . Fun loving, always welcoming, overly sweet and friendly, happy, smart, beautiful, and refreshingly goofy. One of the best people I have ever known. Truely. The world was better with her in it and she will be deeply missed. I know her biggest joy in life was her family, and I know she will be with you always.
