Prayers for Sharon passing. I was always fond of Sharon and enjoyed exchanging Christmas cards and letters with her for the past 60 years. Special thoughts and prayers for her children and grandchildren, brothers and sisters.
Condolences to the family. Cathy, my thoughts and prayer are with you and your family. Diane and Kyle Poppert.
I always loved Sharon’s sense of humor. I always thought she was so pretty and had such great hair! She will be greatly missed.
I worked with Sharon at Jensen-Klich Suppy and became good friends. She was a friend that was fun to be around, smart and a great gardener. My condolences and prayers to the family. Remember you will see her again.
David, Jeff, Cathi and Brian,
Your mom had such a huge impact on me and I loved her dearly. It was her that taught me to truly put myself in other’s shoes before I form opinions about their choices. She taught me to be compassionate and to stand up for those that can’t stand up for themselves. To always try to do the right thing even if those around you don’t. She may not have been the perfect teacher, I may not have been the perfect student and it may not have been the perfect lesson, but it must have been the right one, because it has lasted my entire life and it runs deep in my soul. I carry you all in my heart and will hold you in my prayers, especially as you work to find a new normal without her here.
