Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family of Sharon. We were blessed to meet her years ago through her brother, Ken. While not seeing her often, when we did it was like no time had passed. Always smiling, always happy; a devoted daughter to her parents, a loving sister, and aunt to Will. Sharon was an ardent supporter of her niece, Vicky, and loving mom to her amazing son, Doug, and grandson's Chris and Blake.

She will always have a special place in our hearts.
