Dawn,
I didn't know your Mom, but I have had the good fortune of getting to know you, so it is easy to understand all the the wonderful things people are sharing in her guestbook. She must have been a wonderful and loving mother. God Bless you in this time of adjustment and grief.

What a kind family. Many years ago, I remember praying to God for something good to happen to me, and I met the Heid family. I have been blessed every day by having known them. Sharon, Charley, Dawn, Todd, Laura, and Kirsten are special to me. At this sad time, I hope their heart finds peace and that they liked sitting with Sharon just talking, and wondering where all the time had gone.

Charlie and the rest of Sharon's loving family: I am so very sorry to hear of your great loss. Sharon was a friend to everyone she met; her loving smile will be greatly missed by all. She loved each of you so much. Her face always lit up when we discussed her family; especially her grandchildren. She will live on in our memories, and in all those who she loved and who loved her in return. We were all blessed to have the chance to know her. She will be in heaven watching over us all.

I will always remember Sharon for her laugh. We were so envious of her when she settled in New Salem with her family. She was so beautiful but there wasn't a conceited bone in her. It was so good to have family when we lived in Milwaukee together. I expect she's found a casino somewhere by now. Terril

I had known Sharon for quite sometimes, probably since I moved to North Dakota in 1986. I loved Sharon very dearly and she will be missed terribly.

Kirsten,
I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I remember her from when we were young and I would spend the night at your house. She was always very kind to me. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Charlie, Dawn, Todd, Laura and Kirsten,
Thinking of you all and keeping you in my prayers! Take comfort in the fact that "Mom" is painfree and in God's loving arms.
She will always live in your heart and has the new "job" of being guardian angel to all of you. She was a neat lady and always had a smile whether she was stopping at the office in school or whether I saw her at the grocery store in New Salem. Peace be with each of you during this time of great loss. God Bless Always! Love to all of you!
