To Sharlene family and friends. I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Sharlene many years ago when we were in the banking industry. She made me a beautiful bib for my son when he was born that I still use to this day for my sweet little grandson. Sharlenen was a beautiful lady who loved and missed her husband Leo so much. I believe they are together again holding hands and smiling..RIP my friend..

Dear Ann, Patti, Philip, Maureen and Tommy, I was saddened for all of you to read of the death of your Mom. Mike and I had spent many wonderful hours with her and your Dad so many years ago, but we never forget long time fiends. May she join your Dad in living in Eternal Peace.

Sending my deepest sympathies to my cousins and all their families. So very sorry for your loss. She is for sure dancing in heaven with your dad, and enjoying the reunion with so many Menard’s who have preceded her in death. And of course, with Tim as well. Sending you hugs.
