My deepest condolences to the Munro family on Sharon´s passing. She was a kind, generous and welcoming woman...with a smile that could light up a room. I will be forever grateful for the friendship she shared with my parents and the opportunity to become friends with her children. (Steve, you are missed) I still think about those early years and cherish many beautiful memories. Sharon and Deane set a wonderful example for their children to follow. That will live on...forever.

Dear Deane and all of my cousins, You were blessed with a beautiful, faith filled woman as your wife and mother. I know her death will leave a great void. She was a great listener, always interested in my life and what was going on, and wrote the best letters. I enjoyed our connection as fellow nurses, too. After having my own children I was always amazed at how she handled feeding, clothing and taking care of 9 and while working nights many of those years! She was amazing. I loved Aunt Sharon and glad I had a chance to see her a couple of years ago looking as stylish and beautiful, as always. Praying for comfort as we know while she is gone from this life she has earned her heavenly reward. God Bless!

My prayers and sympathy to Janet and family. I remember her at St. Joan and we worked together at Bergan ICU in the 80´s. I was a student nurse then and learn a lot from Sharon. She was an excellent and compassionate nurse as well as a great parishioner at St. Joan. Rest In Peace, Sharon.
