Tunch: My name is Bill Stull Sr. My son is Billy Stull: former Pitt/Seton LaSalle quarterback. We wanted to share our condolences with you and your family. I do understand since I lost my wife Debbie one year ago (Oct 9, 2011) to breast cancer. Ironically, we moved to the New Castle area so our 3 daughters could share their love when it was obvious Debbie was losing her battle. They live nearby in Poland, Ohio. As true Christians I was not surprised that you are coming to First Baptist Church in New Castle on Oct 14th? I attend that church and Billy and I will be there with my 3 daughters. We hope to meet you and share a minute. If I can ever help your grief through my Faith and experience just let me know: Bill Sr. 412-606-7081. I am in Pittsburgh often to visit friends at Nadines in the South Side and also Seton friends at the Huddle in Beachview. Blessings!

I was deeply saddened to hear of Sharon's death. Sharon and I go way back to elementary school at St. Gabriel's in Connersville, IN. I met Sharon in the second grade. We were 7 years old. We both had identical pink poodle lunch boxes. Not knowing each other at the time, we got our lunch boxes mixed up, as they were stored in the coat closet in our class room. My mom called Sharon's mom over the mix up. The next day at school we sat together at lunch to trade back our lunch boxes, that is how our friendship began. Sharon was my first real friend that I ever had. She was my best friend. There was something so special about her. She always called me "Stammy", and I always called her "Senefeldy". I have many wonderful memories of our young friendship. We spent many weekends spending the night at each others homes and many hours on the phone together. She had the best family. Sharon taught me at such a young age what a true friendship was all about. Our friendship continued for many years until God had a different plan. When I was 12 years old, my family moved to Dallas, Texas. I was heart broken as I did not want to leave my Sharon. We kept in touch through many years from letters and phone calls. As the years went by, and as our lives went on, our contact with each other began to fade away. Even though I did not know Sharon as well in my adult life, I still in my heart can feel the bond of friendship that I had with her. There is something so pure and special about young friendships. Sharon was such an amazing person even at a young age. I still remember her laugh and her sense of humor. She was a beautiful girl, but did not know it. She was so kind and so sincere. The last time I saw Sharon was several years ago at her brother Jeff and his wife Vicki's wedding in Austin, TX. When I saw her, we picked up right where we left off. It was like no time at all had passed by. When I learned of her death, I broke down and cried, as I felt like a small, but very important part of my history had died as well. I will never forget her as long as I live. She will always be my forever friend. This world lost one of the most decent human beings to have ever walked on the face of this earth, but heaven gained the perfect angel. So for now, good-bye my sweet "Senefeldy", and until we meet again, may you rest in peace my forever friend! I love you Sharon!

Tunch, It has been 30 plus years since Sharon introduced us at Linclon Quad.I came up to visit friends and one of them was Sharon. I was her "big brother" and she was my "little sister". I was devistated when I heard of her passing. I know that she is in the hands of Jesus, and that we will all come together in his time. I was blessed to have known her.

Tunch,
You have our deepest sympathy. You and your family will be in our prayers as you journey through these tough times.
"When one finds a worthy wife,
her value is far beyond pearls.
Her husband, entrusting his heart to her, has an unfailing prize.
She brings him good, and not evil,
all the days of her life......
She reaches out her hands to the poor,
and extends her arms to the needy....
She is clothed with strength and dignity,
and laughs at the days to come.
She opens her mouth in wisdom,
and on her tongue is kindly counsel.
She watches the conduct of her household,
and eats not her food in idleness.
Her children rise up and praise her;
her husband, too, extols her:
'Many are the women of proven worth,
but you have excelled them all.'"...
Pvb.31
May God bless you.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. You helped my family during a very difficult time back in 2005 and we will never forgot your willingness to help. You made a very sick young man have a great day by arranging his favorite Steeler to visit him in the hospital. His smile that day is one we will never forget.
It so hard to lose a loved one and now your wife is no longer in pain and her suffering is over. My sincere condolences.

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. May God wrap his loving arms around you and give you his peace that surpasses all understanding.
