We were so lucky to have Sharon and John as neighbors when we were young parents just starting our family. They were always kind and ready to lend a hand at any time. We are better people for having known them both. Our deepest sympathies to Tracy, Tanya and all of your family.

Dear Traci, Tonya & family, We were so sad to hear of your mom’s passing and send prayers for peace of heart for all of you! I knew your mom for only a few years, but I knew her well enough to know that she raised two first-class daughters who are dear and loyal friends, that she loved you and her sweet granddaughters so much, and she enjoyed life! Even after she was ill, I usually saw her with a smile. I know that her love, the wonderful memories you shared, and the support of your many friends and loved ones will be a comfort to you!

Little did we know in our single, running around days that our second born children would become great high school friends, marry, and give us our two beautiful granddaughters. Sharon is the best wife, mom, daughter, and friend we could ask for. God called her home a few days ago to mercifully end her suffering. Sharon, you will be forever treasured and missed.

I will miss our lunches we shared after we both retired. The laughs we had and the friendship that carried over from our working relationship at the Illinois State Board of Education. Rest In Peace my friend! Love you!!
