So sorry to hear of your loss Gary and that of your entire family. I never met your Mom, but knowing you I suspect your Mom too was a real champion and a beloved part of your life and all those around her. Chuck Larsen

Cheryl and Jay, Judy and Steve, Mindy and Bill, Gary and Gini, and families.
I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Sharon's twinkling eyes and smile, how thoughtful, sweet, and dear she was to everyone, her love of watching plays, her card playing with her friends, and her total enjoyment of seeing and being with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. May you each be blessed with comfort, peace and hope during your time of grief. All of us will have many wonderful memories of Sharon and her kindness.
With love, Jackie Adams
