Sharon, Joe, Mare and family,
We are saddened by your loss. after watching the video, we were touched by her beauty and love for her family. We love you and are praying!
You will always be here with us in spirit, but I know that you are up there philosophizing with God about the meaning of life. I am sure He will agree with everything you say!
I will always treasure our times together for the past forty or more years,and will pray for you and TO you for courage and understanding.
Love you forever,
Bonnie (one half

Sharon and Joe, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember sitting on the porch of the “farm house” at your wedding, drinking a glass of wine, talking and laughing with your Mom till the wee hours. I enjoyed her wit and humor so much. All my love and prayers,
Deb
I will remember her smile, her laugh, her wit and her beauty. Thoughts of her make me smile. She was a wonderful godmother and aunt. I am sorry about the loss of your mother Sharon, Traci and Mike.
