Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Grandma had the greatest laugh! She was filled with joy and I always knew how deeply she cared about all of us. I’m rejoicing because of her faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, she is in his presence now! We grieve, but not as those without hope (1 Thess 413).
John, Sue and Jack and family, so sorry for your loss. Sharon was a very special lady. Praising God she is with him now.
Sharon reminded me so much of her mother. Kind, loving, and thoughtful. That is in part why I will miss her…..she reminded me of her mom. But she will also be missed because she was such a Godly loving example of a wife, mother, and sister. We’re all so thankful for her life and for her love of the Savior, in whose arms she now rests.
I have many fond memories of Sharon going back to when John was in the Navy and Sharon would come over to visit or take me shopping. She was my maid of honor in my wedding and wore a pretty pink gown. We did some sewing and stamping together. Sharon had a sweet spirit and kind heart and has now received her final promotion. I will miss her but know I’ll see her again some day.
Sharon was one of the sweetest, kind, most thoughtful person I ever knew! She was older than Lori and I, but such an amazing, loving woman! I will miss her so very much! She loved her family very much and always put them first before herself! She was a beautiful, godly, woman, inside and out…. She will be sorely missed. I know she will be waiting at heavens door when I go home to see our Lord and Savior….. I loved her with all my heart! ❤️
Sharon always made me laugh. We joked about her being shorter than me. I will miss her sweet smile.
What a wonderful sister inlaw. I’ ll miss her.
John just heard of Sharon’s death and so sorry for your loss. Often thought of you two thru the years. Don and I met your sister Ruth at Whistlestop in Byron and she would let us know of you two. But since COVID we haven’t been walking at the gym, so we don’t see Ruth anymore. Hope you are doing good at your time of sorrow. Take care.
