Just as a candle can light up a space, Sharon lit up every room and life she entered. She was such a sweet spirit and a lifelong friend. Now Heaven has opened up and welcomed her warmly. My prayers for Calvin, Sandy, Mark and Mindi and their families at this time of their loss. So glad for you, Tony, to have brightened up these last years sharing them with her. God Bless You all.

When Sharon came into our family, we gained a wonderful sister-in-law! She fit right into our family and was so nice, such fun, and a total joy to be around. She made my brother so happy during the time they had together. I so wish they could have had more time. We will miss her so terribly and always remember what a wonderful person she was.
For my brother, Tony: You picked a good one and I'm so glad you took my advice and didn't waste any precious time. Love you.
For Sharon: Thanks for the memories. You will be missed so much. Love you.
For Mark and Mindy and their families: We share in your sorrow and loss. God bless you all.
