I'm so sorry for your loss, Jeron and Sarah. Aunt Sue was an exceptional lady. She will be greatly missed.
Jeron and Sarah, so sorry for your loss of this amazing woman. I remember her helping out in the classroom when we were in elementary school. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.
We are going to dearly miss you Sharon. Remembering all the road trips she and Jeron had stopppd by to see us in Missouri. She had a very recognizeable chuckle and a great sence of humor. My Father, Uncle Willie is going to miss her deeply. They made numerous trips to the Casinos when he would go up and visit. That was tops on his to do list. Jeron, your Mother is home with our Creator now and will smile down on the pride and love that you have given her and will continue to exhibit throughout the rest of your life. We will miss your Mother deeply and celebrate her life that we enjoyed so deeply.
God Bless You Sharon and Jeron.
I'm so sorry to hear of the family's loss. I had lost touch with the family & didn't realize she was not in good health. Our deepest Sympathy & our condolences to you all.
Jeron, the first time I met your mom was when she organized an Easter egg hunt for the neighborhood kids. That was over a quarter of a century ago, but it seems like yesterday. I will always remember your mom as a generous, friendly and kind neighbor. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Sarah at this time.
Steve and I are so sorry to hear this. Cancer is such a bully :( Sending hugs to you both and miss you.
We are so sorry for your loss. Sharon was a great neighbor and such a sweet lady. She especially showed kindness to our sons when they were young and exploring the neighborhood. We will miss her. Our deepest sympathy to your whole family.
Sharon's friend, Betty Sperry,put together the 'Dream Team' for the care of our father, Glen Vance. Sharon was the Captain and we were so grateful to her and the rest of the team for every facet of his care. My most vivid high school memory of Sharon was when she and Polly Wayland won the MHS Badminton Doubles Tournament. I admired Sharon for the boundless spirit and a positive attitude to living her life. Soar Sharon!
Your mom was such as sweet and caring person. She will be missed by everyone in the neighborhood. We are so sorry for your loss.
