John, I am so saddened by your loss of Sharon. She lived only a block from me and we often road the bus to school and enjoyed each other's company on the way. I called her Sis because she had red hair like my sister. She was a wonderful lady.
Prayers that she will always live in all our hearts.
Peace, love and calm,
Chet

I enjoyed being with Sharon when she and I would gather for birthday celebrations of her grandchildren which are mine also. Mike married my daughter, Kristie and we were always happy to see one another. She will be missed but know she is no longer suffering and we shall be together again some day. Sharon had a great faith in the God she loved and served. Rest in peace Sharon.
