Sharon Rae Spaethe

I am so sad at the loss of my cousin, Sharon. She was not only my cousin but, also a true friend. Her birthday was yesterday, and I had many good thoughts of her. She was my first babysitter, taking care of me when my mom was busy caring for my dad, who was sick and finally passed away. I used to go to her house and spend the day with her and her brother, Brian. She grew sunflowers and we would all gather the seeds and dry them out. I miss them both greatly. Until we meet again, RIP.

I remember visiting Ft. Smith and attending one of Justin's many plays and musicals. Sharon was so proud of him and his accomplishments and she loved to sew costumes for his performances--they were magnificent. I wish I could have had more time with her. We have some of the same interests. She will be greatly missed. Her picture reminds me a lot of our grandmother Irene. Heaven is blessed to have both of them. Diana (Reynolds) Standen, first cousin

So very sad of her departure. To soon. Sharon was a very sweet and kind person. I will always remember some of the fun times we shared as children growing up in California. May she rest in ever-loving peace.
With Love, Cousin Debbie and Adrian-husband, Cousin Sandra and Kolby-son
