Not sure what to say?

Sharon, two months have gone by and I still cannot believe my very best and dearest friend has left. I knew the last time Matt and I visited with you in the hospital before you went into ICU was going to be the last time we talked. I had so much to talk to you about, but I know that deep in our hearts we knew exactly what each other was saying. My heart is broke, but as you would say, "Carol, you are a strong person and you will go on." Yes! Who in the world am I going to have that will...

I WORKED WITH SHARON FOR 15 YEARS, SHARON HIRED ME. I WAS TRULY SADDENED BY THE NEWS OF HER PASSING, WHAT A TRULY REMARKABLE PERSON SHE WAS. I LOVE HER DEARLY AND WILL ALWAYS LOVE HER AND REMEMBER HER EVERYDAY. SHE WAS SUCH A JOY AND SUCH A RARE PERSON, NO ONE WILL EVER BE ABLE TO TAKE HER PLACE. MY CHILDREN LOVED HER AND WE WILL ALL MISS HER, OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOUR FAMILY DAILY
WITH LOVE LINDA SINGH

Sharon,
I never thought the last time I visited you in the hospital, would in fact be the last time I would see you. I wish I would have hugged you a little longer before I left. I am so blessed to have known you and had you for a friend. In the hospital, we made plans to do things. I am so sorry you did not get the chance. You have inspired me to do things I hadn't done in over 35 years. You made me realize that we are not promised a tomorrow. Dylan and Kayle will never forget you...

Sharon was an incredible lady who touched everyone who knew her in some way or another. She was always there when you needed it. She never looked down upon anyone. She treated everyone with respect and dignity. Sharon was our "mom" at work and will never forget everything she has done for us.

Sometimes you meet a friend who loves you just as you are
Two hearts are knit together, no matter when the miles are far.
We met in the early seventies, at jobs no one can remember.
We were born the same year, she in June and me in September.
We loved each other right away, like sisters we neither one had.
And I don't think in all these years at each other we ever got mad.
We were young and life was ahead of us;we shared joys, prayers and fears.
Learning as we walked this...

Sharon was kind and thoughtful. Every time I was in the hospital she and Ken would come over with a flower arrangement. I have two to remember her. She always liked to go to Aunt Anns Octoberfest.
Mow she is heaven talking to Uncle Bud and her family, telling what all is going on and how well everything is.
She will be sadly missed my all of us.
Scott, Sean, and Kenny if you need anything let me know. Aunt Jeanette

I will always remember her smile, sweet personality, and her butter cake she prepared for my husband. Aunt Sue

I worked with Sharon and will miss her. I am sorry for your loss. Sharon was always upbeat and funny. My thoughts and prayers are with you

I worked with Sharon for 28 years and will miss her great smile. My sympathies to her family.
