I just learned of Sharon's passing. She and I were co-chairmen of the Crete Art Fair many years ago and we became fast friends. I recently returned to this area after 12 years in Tennessee and was anxious to renew our friendship. Sharon was one of the most genuine people I have ever known. My memories are so dear of Sharon and the fun times we shared. May God go with the entire family as they adjust to live without her.

Dear Bob and family,
We were in FLorida and didn't know of SHaron's passing until we returned. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to you all. When I think of Sharon I think of what a special, gracious lady she was and we were blessed to have known her. Prayers for your family as you survive without such an important person to you all. Seek the Lord for strength and guidance.
In CHristian love,
