Dear Leon and family, I am so sorry to hear of Sharon's passing. My deepest condolences to all. I have so many wonderful memories of our Little League years together. I keep you and your beautiful family in my thoughts and prayers as I know your loss too well. I lost Larry a year and a half ago. I pray that God will give you the strength needed to get through this difficult time and may your beautiful Sharon rest in peace.

I love her! I am so thankful for her friendship. I love how she celebrated Christmas. She made it special for all of us to
share in her love of Snowmen. Her beloved husband would
add to her Collection of Christmas at the Festival of Trees.
My most recent time with Sharon was in the Jordan River Temple.
Her beautiful spirit was evident to me that she is a choice Daughter
Of our Heavenly Father who has welcomed her home encircling her
with His love. We love you Leon and send to this message with the
hope that you will feel our love. Elder &Sister Gatherum.

Received a call from Ted Liss concerning Sharon's passing. Please accept our heartfelt condolences for your loss. Contacted my sister in Oregon to tell her the news. She went on to say what a sweet lady Sharon is. She fondly remembers Sharon taking her to the beach when she was 16 years old.
