Sharon and I were classmates starting in Kindergarden at Emmaus Lutheran Church thru High School at Concordia. Her Father, Hans, and my parents were good friends. I was a frequent guest in their Dinnen Avenue home. Hans was so proud of his three grand sons. My sympathy to the family in the loss of their Mother.

I worked with Sharon over the years at the ACPL. She was the nicest person and a good problem solver. I wish joyful memories to her family in celebrating her life.

Aunt Sharon always sent me a birthday card which was a combined birthday and Valentine's Day card since my birthday is on Valentin's day. I know these cards are hard to find so she always made a special effort to find a nice one for me.
Aunt Sharon was always a hard working mother and I always respected and admired that she went to church every Sunday with three boys. What a great, Godly Mother.
I will see you in Heaven Aunt Sharon and we will see Jesus face to face. Come Lord Jesus, please come.
Love always,

I never personally knew you, but knowing your son, Phil, as my pastor reveals to me that you were certainly a wonderful person and a great Christian. May you rest in peace awaiting the coming of our lord and savior.
