We are so sorry for your loss. Please know you are all in our thoughts. I have so many fun filled memories of our families together. Sharon and her mom helped me get my first real job at HSC many many years ago and I have always been grateful for that. We wish you all comfort and peace and sending you strength.

Our heartfelt condolences to Don, Derek and Lori, and family. Many fond memories of our families spending time together so long ago. Although we hadn't seen Sharon for many years, we were fortunate to have connected briefly in November.

Our thoughts are with you all during this difficult time.

We are saddened to hear of Sharon's passing. Don and Sharon welcomed us into the Miramar Rd. Community when we moved in with our young family. We had many good conversations, and I remember vividly when their first grandchild was born, the look of absolute love in her eyes..

our condolences to you all.
