Not sure what to say?

I attended the funeral for Sharon today and just wanted the family to know that it was one of the most moving services I have attended. The Nightingale Tribute was the first time I have seen or even heard of the ceremony. A class act touch. And the Pastor's remarks were comforting. --Debbie Cole

We were so sorry to hear of Sharon’s passing. She always had such a beautiful smile. Love and prayers to the family during this difficult time.
