Sharon was an amazing and selfless individual, known for her strength, and dedication to her family. She was a devoted spouse, daughter, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend.

Sharon, I love & miss you friend. Are you sending me a message? This popped up on my phone today, and we had just laid your ashes to rest last weekend along with your girls and Ray. I still miss you, my special friend.

Sharon , wow this just hit me like a ton of Bricks . I was lucky to meet you while working at Cruizers . We had tears here and there with laughter here and there. Sharon taught me a few things while being a new manger. One thing you always spoke about was your family, you could tell they meant so much. The pure joy in her eyes when she would talk about them was just amazing. My condolences to friends and family. Prayers sent above.

Sharon beamed. She was so smart, kind and beautiful that her goodness shone. I loved talking to her and she could always make me laugh, oftentimes at myself. She will be remembered fondly and the hole she has left in families and friends lives will never be filled.

Sharon, even though our only contact the past 36 years was on Facebook, I always thought of you as a friend. You were always very kind to me and that means so much to me. I'll always cherish the memories of our youth and the time I spent with you, Mark and the rest of our gang. I'll especially cherish the memories of our ski trips! Be young again my friend and bask in the love that surrounds you now.

I didn´t have the pleasure of knowing Sharon as long as I would´ve liked to, but once you knew Sharon it was like you had known her forever. She was a wonderful friend, and we spent lots of time together on the front porch at the Lake with she and Ray. Sharon was my hero. She was one of the bravest people I know, and was determined not to let her cancer keep her from shining. She always had a smile on her face, and will truly be missed. I love you Sharon and will miss you so much this summer.
