Sharalyn - did not know your mother well but know she had a lovely daughter who was beloved by my daughter back in the day. I am sincerely sad for you and yours.

I am saddened to hear about the passing of your mom, Sharalyn. My memories go way back to high school and early adulthood when you and I were friends. Your mom always had the brightest smile and seemed genuinely interested in everything we had to say. Sending my deepest condolences and wishing you peace during this difficult time. My very best, Karen Tschenscher (you would remember me as Grills or Acaster)
