Gary—. So very sorry to hear about your wife’s passing. I lost my wife to cancer in 1994 after 26 years of marriage and can only imagine the loss you feel after your and Sharon’s much greater time together. It seems like just yesterday we chatted at our 60th(61st actually ) high school reunion. And yet here we are in such a short time later dealing with one of life’s hardest moments. We(Jody and I) can only share our deepest condolences hoping that it helps in some small way.

Sharon is one of my favorite people ever! Quick to laugh and smile. Gentle, kind and completely charming. I believe many people loved her. I will miss seeing her and hearing her tell stores of her grandchildren, of whom she was so proud. Sharon was my classmate and a Goodfriend.
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Please accept my sincere condolences. Sharon was a wonderful lady and it was a pleasure and privilege being involved in her care. I think the best way to honor her would be to contribute to the pulmonary fibrosis foundation and I will do that . May her soul rest in peace.. Faheem Abbasi M.D

I have been friends with Sharon’s sister Linda for 50 years and have had the pleasure of knowing Sharon that long as well. As a matter of fact, Sharon used to babysit for my son Sean. I know the kids back in those days called her Shoo-Shoo (sp?). She will be missed by all who knew her.

Gary & Family we are so sorry to hear about the passing of Sharon. She was a very special lady in so many ways. We became friends with two other ladies when our husbands were called to Desert Storm and even though it was rough at times without our husband's we were there for each other & great friendships came out of it. You will be missed sweet lady.
