Sharon,
You were one of the best people inside and out I have ever met. I enjoyed telling you the crazy stories Friday mornings after a long night at the fire station. You will be missed always and TPG will never be the same without you. May you rest in peace. Love you always.

How do I say goodbye to my rock way too soon? I intend to give you a stern talking to when I see you again. And I apologize to all the other big sisters out there for saying this, but I definitely got the best one God ever created. Sharon, I still reach for the phone to call you, since I called you for just about everything -- questions, advice, or just to chat and make you laugh. I'm hoping your answering machine stays that way for a while .... so I can hear your voice when I need it. Give all my love to Daddy, Mom, Carter, Mac, Uncle Bob, and all our beautiful relatives who are also sorely missed. My love for you will never end.

Sharon was known lovingly around the office as Sharonie!! I remember my first day of work at TPG, she stayed late with me, and helped me get through it all when everyone else had left. She was always looking out for us, she was our "work grandmother"!! She will be dearly missed by all of us, TPG will never be the same without her!!

Growing up as a neighbor and friend of the Mcquillan/Cassady family, I have admired and adored Sharon over the decades. It was always apparent how important her family was to her and vice versa! Sharon was very proud of Kathy, Ray,Pat, her grandchildren and niece. She was a wonderful role model not only to her family & friends, but from what I learned, to her co-workers and patients as well. It takes a very special person to be a nurse, in addition to being a mom, sister, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, grandmother and aunt. Sharon was able to juggle her nursing career while raising their 3 awesome kids on her own, after Mac died unexpectedly many years ago. She was courageous and a beautiful person inside and out. Sharon had a strong faith and set of values. She was kind, caring, selfless, compassionate, a sports enthusiast,had a great "dry" sense of humor, and was loved by all whose lives she touched. In friendship & sympathy, I share my sincere condolences to your family.

Sharon, TPG will not be the same without you and neither will I. We had some great times at our dinners out with Fairy and Lourdes and at our outings for work. You took great care of everyone and made us all laugh. I miss you and love you, my friend.

I had the privilege to know Sharon both as a co-worker and a mother of a TPG patient who asked her questions about the many things that first time parents face. I have fond memories of her in both roles. Sharon had the ability to make both her co-workers and patient's parents feel important.

Oh Sharon. How I wish you were still here. I never got a chance to say good bye. I am glad I got the chance to meet you and work with you for about a year. You were always there when I needed someone to talk to. I will never forget you. May your beautiful soul rest in peace. I love you.

Don't know where to begin... Met Sharon back when I went to High School with her son, Ray, in 1984. She was always very caring, interested in what we were up to and a great person to be around! Though we are extremely sad to see her go, we are certainly grateful we were able to have her in our lives!

one of the best nurses and certainly the best all around human being I ever had the privilege of working with over 40 years in the business.

I am so grateful to have known you and worked with you for the 3 short years that I did. I will never forget the many laughs and stories that we shared together. You brought our office together as one and was always so easy to talk to. I am so glad I stopped by to see you when I did. You will be forever missed .

Sharon has always been one of my favorite people in this world. She taught me so much during my impressionable teenage years to life as a young woman. I adored her and am so grateful this special lady was such an important part of my life.

I'm sad that I didn't get a chance to say goodbye but this is not goodbye. This is until we meet again. I will never forget all the times you were there for me and all the great advice you gave. And I'm glad I finally had the privilege to cut your hair after 10yrs of offering. I love you Sharonie.
