I remember Sharon as being very smart with a great sense of humor. She would take Sue (her younger sister) & I all over the place when we were poor college students. I remember going to hear her brothers play in their band, going to Melody Top & out to eat. I have fond memories of her and am sorry to hear of her passing. My deepest sympathies.

Dear Marge, Ron and the entire Pyne family--It is a sad loss to see such a sweet person as Sharon go. I have always held her strength, great sense of humor, and gentle way in high regard. She will always be remembered with a smile on her face. It was a pleasure to know her over the many years-hmmm...20? and to hang out with her and the benkos & band. wow. What a special lady she will always be. Many thoughts and prayers to you all.

My deepest condolences to Ron, Mike & Julie, Marge & the entire Pyne family... I have so many fond memories of Sharon from the fun filled Quo Vadis days and us tearing down the walls of the old band house, to memories of Sharon always saving a chair for her friends at each of the gigs. She kept the best of us sane and always made us all laugh. Though I would see her almost every weekend, she would somehow also find time to write letters to me. I have saved every one of those all of these years, as they were the work of a literary comic genius! Sharon will be missed by all who have had the wonderful opportunity to cross paths with her. God Bless you Sharon!

Our prayers and thoughts are with Sharon's family. We got to know her because of her godchild - our daughter-in-law - Angie, and got to see what a warm-hearted, caring person she was. Once again, life ended too short for one of God's best.

Sharon was a classmate of mine at Franklin High and also a family member through brother Ron and lst wife, my sister, Laurie. I have seen Sharon at many a birthday party for Krista, her niece and of course Krista's daughter Sierra through out the years. It is true, Sharon loved people and would lend a hand whenever she could. I and my family will miss Sharon's smiling face. My prayers and condolences to her family. May God give you all strength to heal. God Bless, Linda ( Sorsek ) Abramski and Family

To all my good friends in the Pyne Family....Sharon was like a big sister to me also, especially during the band days. She was always the voice of reason in the sometimes crazy (no, always crazy) environment of rock n roll. I was recently in contact with her about some old band tapes. I will miss her deeply.

My deepest condolences to the extended Pyne Family. It was easy to admire Sharon...She was a giver, and had a fun persona that touched many.

With greater need elsewhere, I am sure she will continue to help in great ways in her new role.
