My sincerest sympathies to Richard and his entire family. I’m sure Sharon will be missed. I hope your fond memories help during this very difficult time.
Most recently, Sharon was one of my most challenging Words with Friends friend. Her intelligence and grasp of English was always very apparent. I will miss the opportunity of playing Words with Friends with her.

This photo is exactly our memory of Sharon. Her infectious devilish smile. When you see her you couldn’t help but smile. She was patient and kind. Supportive and loving ❤️ she was a blessing for many. Her heart will be missed. May she rest in peace and her memory be a blessing. Hugs to her family.

May her memory be for a blessing . Our deepest condolences to you Richard and your entire family. Sharon and I met in college and shared many long talks while bumping into each other shopping. After we both retired our friendship became even stronger. I will miss her laughter, our talks, playing canasta, and reminiscing. Sharon loved her family so much. She will be missed. A beautiful person inside and out.

Sharon was a very special person. I’ve known her for 66 years. She was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside and she looked the same as she did in high school. I’m so very sad and especially sad for you, her family, to lose such an incredible woman.

My family grieves with yours. We will pray strength and positive energy to all of you. Surely in time, the voids will be filled with the lifetime of vivid and genuine memories Sharon created with and for everyone she shared her time with. Her smile and remarkably bright light were a gift.

Sharon was the closest of friends with my sister since elementary school, and I was the little sister always wanting to tag along. Sharon was a good friend to me when my own sister passed. Hopefully they are together again. May Sharon’s memory be a blessing.

Sharon & I started our relationship over a box of Frango Mints. I helped Sharon with something when we started teaching together and she thanked me with the candies. This gesture was the start of a great friendship. We have been friends over 30 years. Sharon was beautiful, intelligent and generous. She was my confidant, my advisor , my conscience, my personal shopper, and my role model. We were always there for each other. We were more than friends. We were sisters of the heart. I will miss her every day.
