I knew and worked with Sharon when she was at St. Leonard School in Berwyn. She was a delighful woman and very spiritual. Her sufferings were great but she kept up the good fight and did it with a smile. She is now home with her God and smiling down on us.

Mrs. Henriksen was such a special person to our family. She was principal for our 3 children and was so devoted to her job and her students. She will be truly missed and we wish her husband and family our sympathy.

Dear Rick, Mark, & Belinda,



My heart goes out to all of you at this most difficult time. I will keep you in my prayers as you struggle through the days to come.



It was my pleasure to work with Sharon for the past 5 years. We often laughed at how much we thought alike. We passed through so many good and distressing times toether during those 5 years including the death of a student, 911, the growth of the school, graduations, First Communions, and so many other events. I am always in awe of the wonderful sendoff she gave me last year at my retirement.



I will remember her as a gracious lady who endured much suffering but could smile and be joyful for every extra day she was given by God and her donor. That was a lesson to be learned by all of us.



May God in His Loving Goodness be with you.



Affectionately,

Carole

Sharon & Rick are absolutely amazing people. To know Sharon and Rick, is to love them.



Sharon lived her life to the fullest, with her life touching many, many people and making a permanent impact on everyone she crossed paths with. I know she made a tremendous impact on me.



Always a part of my heart, I will miss someone I am proud to call my friend.



My sincere condolences to her family and those that had the opportunity to love her.
