My wife and I were friends of Bob and Sharon Sumser in the 70´s. We have kept in touch over the years. Sharon was the sweetest soft spoken person. She always had a smile and was a wonderful lady. We only recently learned of her passing. Deepest sympathies to her family.

So sorry to hear the about loss of Sharon. Just found her obit today because of cards being sent to her by my wife with no return. In the early 70's Bob and I both worked for Sears. We went out to movies and dinners with Bob and Sharon many times. We also shared many good times with the Sumser's friends Chris and Joann Larmee. I also looked them up today and find that they have both passed away. So many good times and laughter with the four of them. God Bless them all. Don and Dee Dee Sewell Crestwood KY.
