What a precious lady! I was blessed to have known her and share time with her. She dearly loved her family and her Lord . She will forever be missed but just knowing she’s walking with Jesus can bring peace to us all. May God bless the family during this painful time and give them the assurance their mother is happy now and we’ll see her again one day. Love,Linda
Thinking of you Sharon and your family at a time like this. We all hate to let go of our mom and it is one of the hardest things you will have to do in your life. Robin and I know the feelings well. We were lucky to have them all these years. They both lived a long happy life.
She was such a precious lady and joy to talk to. When I last saw her she and Sharon were having lunch at Applebee’s and she was in such good spirits. She will be missed by all who knew her and loved her. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.🙏🙏
We are so sorry for your loss. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you all and praying Gods comfort to your hearts.
