  1. DEAR JEFF AND FAMILY,
    IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO EXPRESS IN WORDS THE SADNESS OF YOUR LOSS. SHARON WAS A BEAUTIFUL PERSON AND THOUGH SHE IS NOT HERE WITH YOU NOW, HER SWEET SPIRIT, THE WONDERFUL MEMORIES AND YOUR GROWING FAMILY ARE STILL WITH YOU. OH, HOW SHE LOVED HER FAMILY. WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HER SMILE AND LAUGH. WITH LOVE, DAN AND CHAR

  2. It still seems as though we should be going to hospice to see about her. We said our good bye’s about 5 hours before God sent His angels for her. They placed her healthy body in His arms and He held her and rocked her. She has her beautiful home and is amazed at everything she is seeing and all the loved ones that had gone on before her and is celebrating her perfect life in Heaven. If she was given the opportunity to come back here or stay where she is, I guarantee she would stay where she is. There is no more pain, fear and suffering. One day we will see her again and rejoice in all of God’s promises just as Sharon is today.

  10. When I met Sharon several years ago through our daughters, Rebecca and Katie I felt close to her because she was always so kind and caring. Our daughters grew up together and Sharon and I had a lot of long talks about the hardship of growing up. She helped me through a lot of hard times and I will never forget her. She was a good friend, I will miss her very much.She is at peace with God now and I pray for her family to find peace and keep faith in God during this healing time.
    Love to all of you,
    Betty Sheehan
