"May she rest in Peace!" To all of you and Larry too, she's at peace with "Ma".
Sorry that I'm unable to travel to Lansing, but my thoughts and Prayers are
with all of you. Sharon, Larry, Mom & Dad and I had a lot of fantastic times together. We know there's a real re-union taking place in Heaven right now.
Wish I could be there but circumstances
won't allow me to travel. I'll be there
in Spirit at the service. Just know that she is at Peace and no suffering.
God Bless You All!!

Randy, Anita and Alexis; our thoughts and prayers are with you. We can still remember Sharon at many of the ball games supporting the team. She always went out of her way to say hello to everyone. It was always a pleasure talking with her. We will miss her. May she rest in peace.
