To Sharon's family:
Sharon and I were childhood friends and we went to church together. Our families were good friends, also. Although Sharon and I did not stay close as adults, I will always remember her big smile and her sweet and kind ways. Find comfort in knowing she is free of all sickness and walks with God in the paradise He has created for his children. One scripture that has brought me comfort when I have lost loved ones is 2Corinthians 5:8...rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. As Sharon's family, and as believers in Christ, you all have this blessed assurance and a hope for tomorrow. As young children, Sharon and I sang this beautiful hymn in church. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, born of His Spirit, washed in His blood. This is my story, this is my song, praising my Saviour, all the day long! Be assured, Sharon is in the loving arms of her Savior. With my deepest sympathy, Diane Basl Gay
