I am so very sad to hear this. Sharon will be greatly missed
I am so sorry for your loss. Sharon was a treasured member of our family for over 50 years and will be greatly missed. She was smart and funny and a wonderful companion to my brother Steve. I will hold Sharon in my prayers and meditations, and find comfort knowing her faith now puts her in God’s loving arms. Sending love to my family in this sad time.
Condolences to Sharon’s family and friends. I met Sharon at Bryan High School.
