Dear Jim, we are so sorry for your loss. I know you will miss her very much. I will miss my visits with you and Sharon. I am sorry I couldn’t be there this past year because of the virus. I have many good memories of being with Sharon, especially the trips we went on. I’m know Sharon is happy to be with Brian again. Love Dorothy

Jim and Jennifer, I met Sharon because I worked at Mamie O Stookey School. She asked me to watch Brian on occasion. I really loved doing that. Sharon was a strong person I hope she is at peace. My deepest sympathy.

I met Sharon just before She married my big brother Jim.She was very sweet but feisty. She worked very hard to take care of her family Jim,Jennifer and Brian.She showed amazing strength taking care of Brian.I think she passed on that strength to Jennifer.I haven’t seen her in to many years I’m very sorry her health and quality of life faded away. Jim took good care of her and visited her every day when she needed to go to rest home. I hope she can Rest In Peace
