Sharon Wikstrom

I was so saddened to hear about Sharon's death and I want to express my sympathies to her family. I was fortunate to be both Sharon's secretary and later her Marketing Coordinator at CMG for a brief, but wonderful two years. She hired me right out of college and made my first job experience fun, and not so scary. She was and will always be the best boss I ever had. No other will live up to her reputation in my mind. She was smart, patient, kind, creative, fair and a great teacher. She loved...

What a beautiful smile and kind word for everyone. Sometimes shy and bashful, always creative and caring. A successful professional business women. A women of tall stature and even taller character. She led the CMG West Marketing group with excellence. Peace to Sharon and her family.

I worked with Sharon at UMF, and have never met anyone with such an abundance of generosity, positivity, humor, and savviness. It was wonderful to be around her. I'm so sorry to hear she's gone.

Sharon was one of very few people who could be an outstanding and nurturing boss and a wonderful friend. I'll miss her.

I just learned tonight from a friend who also works at the U that we recently lost Sharon. I am so sorry to have missed the chance to pay my respects to a lady who I always looked up to and regarded as a quality, talented, kind, fun-loving, professional, and highly intelligent person. Sharon hired me at Carlson Companies, where I was so fortunate to work under her for many years. I learned from her wonderful example but never quite mastered the way she made everyone around her feel...

Kim-
I am very sorry about your mom. I have so many great memories of hanging out at your house a million years ago. I'm sorry for your loss.

I remember Sharon as a great employee, often times a confidant and certainly a friend. I remember vividly working with her to help me write the most important speech of my career... the announcement of closing our Dayton Ohio operation.
CMG had a wonderful ride from '77 to '92 and people like Sharon made it happen. She's in a good place and deserves it. My condolences are with her family.

So sorry to hear about your mom's passing, Kim. She was such a warm and caring person. I remember her not only from our days at Forest but also bumping into her at Carlson Companies. She was always so kind and friendly. May you find comfort in your wonderful memories. Take care.
