Tua morte ha raccolto Saint Michaels angeli ancora una volta a dire addio alla tua vita e Ciao a tuo spirito e pregare è mantenere uno spazio aperto per la nostra partenza quando arriva il momento. Ti amo vecchia ragazza, ricordati di me al nostro Padre celeste

To the Hennigan Family, Sharon was a very a very, very special person. UNIQUE in so many ways. Always jovial, and was such an asset to all who had the pleasure of knowing her. She made me laugh many times during our scool days and into our adult lives. She is now spreading her kindness and happiness with the Lord ,who she loves so much. She once told me to be happy when someone we love leaves this world, and cry when entering. Please know that I can't smile, but please know she Loves you all and she is smiling down upon you.

Dear Hennigan Family,
Sharon was very special. She loved her family dearly and kept her friends close. She was a spectacular social worker and brought dedication and a sense of humor to all that she did.
