I have some of the fondest childhood memories of spending time in Rudy with Sharon, and all the family! It was like being in a different space and time; a time of joy, peace, love, and so much fun and adventure! I loved, loved, loved her spaghetti! It was always so awesome to see her and Curt with all the kids and there was always a house full. You all brought them great joy! I know this is a difficult time for everyone and I am praying that you all find peace in knowing she is resting with the Lord and may you all experience His peace that surpasses all understanding and that only He can give.
