Not sure what to say?

Mark and Mindy and families,
We are so sorry for your loss
Jim and Joyce Marr

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

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.

Sandy and family, My sincere sympathy to you -

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...

All my sympathies to all your family, Sandy is my dear friend here in Streator, Sally Sopko

Our condolences to your family.

Sharon was such a lovely lady and a willing worker in many ways. I always enjoyed working with her at the county fair food stand where she helped us out every year. She will be missed. Gods Blessings to the family.

My deepest condolences to the entire family. Sharon will be greatly missed.
