    I have known Sharon for many years. We were the two that always got in trouble for talking to much. Between the two of us we knew every body that came into the license branch. She was a kind hearted caring woman who was liked by every one. She will be missed by everyone. Go Rest High On The Mountain. Chris Smith

    So sorry to learn of Sharon’s passing. The last time we talked, she reminded me of being in her wedding and was reminiscing about that day wanting me to visit and look at the photos again. I am sorry to say, I procrastinated too long and that day didn’t happen. I will, forever, be saddened about that. Please know that you are surrounded by a fellowship of love and may God grant your family strength during this difficult time.

    Stay strong Gene. I didn’t know Sharon well, but you and I worked together at Fed Mogul years ago. Losing a spouse is probably the worst thing we can go through. I’ve been there. God speed your comfort through this loss.

    Truly sorry to hear about Sharon. I remember if that cocker spaniel didn’t like you, Sharon always did. Wonderfully welcoming, delightful sense of humor. I can’t make the visitation, fighting the flu. We will get together another time, stay well buddy.
