I have so many lovely memories of the time I spent with Aunt Sharon from long ago to this past year. We always had fun!~ She had a great laugh, smile and personality. She was a caring teacher, a great artist, cook, and a wonderful aunt.

Mr. Abood, Joe, Billy, and Janene,

I am so sorry to hear about Mrs. Aboods passing. She was a wonderful woman who always had an ear to lend and a smile to give. I still remember how kind she was to all of us neighborhood kids back in Suffield. I am thankful for all of the wonderful memories that I have from time I spent with your family.

Was shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Mrs. Abood. Although I have not seen the family in many years, I spent many a day at their house as a child as they were our neighbors on Trares Road in Suffield. Our sincerest sympathy goes out to the family.

Walt and family. I was so saddened this morning when I learned of Sharon's passing. I am so sorry that we have not seen each other in 30 years. She was such a wonderful friend over many years. It was so nice to reconnect on line. She shared with me how proud she was of her family. I know there will forever be a void in the lives of all who knew her, her sense of humor her laughter and her thoughtfulness are what I will remember. My thoughts are with you

I met Sharon on Lampwork Etc (LE) several years ago and she and I would share quips back and forth.

I will miss her. My thoughts and prayers to all of her family. With Love, Jill Knapp
