I've known Sharon since we were children and she used to play the school teacher (always in control). We hung out together a lot as teenagers always having a good time and a few good arguments. Later we lived together when Justin, and my daughter, Jackie were babies. We went on to better our lives with school to make a good life for our children. We both chose healthcare. I went to her wedding in Michigan. What a blast we all had! It was beautiful. Sharon married the love of her life. Although we drifted apart over the years we would talk once a year for hours on end catching up like we never had been apart. There are few friends that can do that. Always having a good laugh. I am so sad at her passing and me not getting together with her more frequently. My heart goes out to Justin and Tom and her family. She will always be in my memories and in my heart. I was lucky to know her. Her friend, Mulli

Although I was not close friends with Sharon and Tom, the many times I have been with Sharon have been memorable. I remember the first time I met Sharon up at Holiday Shores....I knew she was a fun spirited person. I have Kim, Greg, Tim, Cindy, and the whole gang to thank for the liberty of meeting Sharon. My thoughts and prayers for your family during this time.

Sincerely,
Cindy Burg
