I am so sad to have to miss and celebrate Sharon’s life It is so hard for me to travel and sit.
I will miss Sharon even though we didn’t see each other very often in the last few years as our bodies were failing us. I did seem to be in the Rosthern Hospital with her some times and had some good laughs there.
I remember the many card games and the Doré Lake days where we fished and swam and just over all, the belly laughs we had, mostly laughing at Sharon and some of the things she did and what she did 🤣🤣🤣
The biggest ones were when she got up in the morning, her hair was the funniest!! It was everywhere😳😳😳 🤣🤣🤣unbelievable!!
Anyway 😢 you rest easy my friend, I Love You ♥️🙏
We were deeply saddened to hear of Sharon’s sudden passing. She was such a kind and loving lady…and one I was privileged to call friend. Working with her at Treasures made it such a joy! She always made you feel safe around her and seeing how she handled so much heartache in her life showed her unwavering faith in God. She was so proud of her family and loved you all deeply. Wish I could be there to honour such a beautiful lady, but you will definitely be in our prayers and thoughts in the coming days. Hugs, Wayne and Donna Heppner
Our thoughts and prayers are with you ,we know she will leave a big empty spot in your life. Love Stuart and Marj Epp
Dear Jennifer, Vanessa and families, our prayers and thoughts are with you. May faith show you the way. Jim and Dianne Isaak
Wow, such a great picture of Sharon 👍🏽
We had so many laughs over the years and played a lot of cards over the years.
One of my favourite memories of Sharon was when we were driving back from Doré Lake and all of a sudden Sharon said “ I wonder how Moose get through the woods with their Big Horns? At this time, she had asked so many silly questions, but this one had us laughing for a long time! 🤣🤣
It is hard to believe that she is gone but I am sure she will meet up with Mom and Dad and have some more laughs.
My Mom and Sharon have suffered so much over the years with a lot of the same things but all I have to think is, they aren’t hurting any more! But I will miss Sharon so much and my Deepest Sympathy to Jen, Vanessa and families. 🙏♥️
My deepest condolences to family and friends.
