Not sure what to say?

To you Sharon. Sharon & Paul Forever

As we gathered at sunset here in Arizona to celebrate the life of Sharon it’s really hard to imagine she has left our earth. She and Paul brought our family many fun memories. Rachel and Sarah will always remember how much she loved them. She was able to share her crafts, books, sports with us. Her and Paul were a special, beautiful couple. We will miss her dearly, just that one more time that we weren’t able to pull it off this year. We always looked forward to planning to see her....

It was so nice reconnecting with Paul and you at your 50th reunion from Lincoln and again in Door County for Lunch a few years ago. We shared political beliefs and a belief in decency and caring. I still remember a visit to Paul and you in 1964 in Arizona when Paul was on scholarship. You two were a perfect pair.

Rest in peace.

Goodbye to a lovely high school classmate. I enjoyed yakking with her and late husband Paul at our class reunion picnics.

Miss you Sharon - our daily chats, laughs and excursions for the perfect hamburger. Even though I’ve been away from Manty for five years I will always remember my beastie, Sharon. Rest in Peace Sharon. Beth Bloom

Worked with Sharon at Mirro, in the shipping office. We became, very good friends. Her & Paul were the BEST! RIP my Friend! Sincere sympathy to her Family!

Condolences. She is in a much better place.

To my Cousins and their Spouses

Steve and I are so very sorry for your loss.
Auntie Sharon and Uncle Paul were very good to me when I was a teenager. I spent many hours babysitting all 3 of you when you were little.
When your mom and dad moved back to Manitowoc, we were able to spend many wonderful hours together once again.
Hope you share some fun stories about your mom and dad as you work thru your grief.

Sharon, in my mind, will always be one of the beautiful women I was blessed to have in my world. Her smile and the fun in her eyes were but a mere introduction to the whole woman she was. Love love love her.

Kirk and Family,
We are so sorry to hear the news of your Mom's passing. You and your children are the wonderful legacy that she leaves behind. We will keep you all in our thoughts, and wish you strength in the coming months.
