Sharon was more of a sister than a sister-in-law. We had many great times together over the years and I feel very blessed to have had her as part of our family. She was the most kind, generous and loving person. It’s hard to believe you’re gone, Sharon, but I take some comfort in knowing that you’re no longer suffering. I’ll miss you, I love you, but you’ll never be forgotten. You’ll always hold a place in my heart.

I was stunned to hear of Sharon’s death;though I didn’t know her well its easy to understand how devestating the loss is.
There are no words that make this easier or less painful. My heart goes out to you all.
Frannie,Bev and Bill ; I know losing a sister is like losing part of yourself. But they leave echos that can warm you at unexpected moments;
As always,Bonnie

It’s hard to believe Aunt Sharon is gone, but she will never be forgotten. I will miss her laughter and her smile, but her memory will go on forever (and boy, do I have lots of great memories). I love you and I miss you!

Sharon,
You were always much more than a cousin. You were my big sister as much as my real one. I will always cherish the good times we had together. I love you.
Rick,
You have been there forever. Sharon was one lucky person to have shared her life with you. You will always be family to me. See you soon brother. Love you too. Little John

Sharon was always more than a cousin to me as well. I didn’t have any sisters and being so close in age, we spent time at each other’s homes many times when we were kids. The memories are endless. As young marrieds we played many a night of cards at our kitchen tables. It was us against the guys and the girls won (sometimes). As adults we had each other’s back.
Changes in our lives brought a physical distance, but that didn’t remove the closeness I always felt in my heart. My heartfelt sympathy and love goes out to Rick and all of the family.
