I am thinking of all my wonderful memories with Sharon today. We had so much fun together when Breanna was little. We could talk for hours. I was always amazed by her extreme intelligence. She had never gone to college but was one of the brightest people I have ever known. She could cook or bake anything without a recipe and I had never seen such devotion to a family. She was a true Ruby girl in every way. She would go to the library and check out nine books at a time and read them all that week. She sewed, embroidered, gardened and did all the bulletin boards for the church. She was a pile of energy in one woman. As a young sister in law she was purely intimidating. She would tell me stories of growing up in South Dakota and I always thought she should write a book about her life; it sounded like little house on the prairie. Diabetes stopped her in her tracks but until then you couldn't keep up with her if you tried.

Our Dear Friends:
Our prayers go out to all your family members near and far, in your time of loss. We all know Sharon is in heaven with Arlene looking down on their family, making plans for when all of you are together again, to laugh and go camping, to sit around the campfire and share with each other again.

I have such fond memories of the few months in 1966 that I lived with your family. You were such a good friend to me and your whole family was so supportive and helpful in a very difficult time in my life. I remember so many fun times and giggles we had together. May you rest now Sharon where you can see you dad and mom and Wayne. What a joyous reunion! We will meet again Sharon.

R.I.P Dear Cousin Sharon. I pray the Lord grant your family comfort in knowing you are with Him.. I pray that He eases your families grief and reminds them she is with Her Father, Mother, and Brother and that one day all will be together again.

Mom I feel a little lost today. I have no words to adequately describe what you meant to me. Although I know you are in a better place, selfishly I wish I could tell you I love one more time. But I will someday! Love you mama, Randy

Sis, I was three years old when you got married, and it all seemed like a big party. It was, until Mom told me you weren't coming home anymore. I cried because in my young heart I didn't understand.
My heart hurts now because you've left us, but this time, I do understand. You've gone to that place our Lord prepared for you. A place where there's no diabetes, no pain, and never any sadness; now that's what I call the greatest party ever!
Will miss you till that day. Give Dad, Mom and Wayne a hug for me. Oh ya, one more thing, try not to knock Wayne off the teeter totter on his head. Love you Sis!
Bryan
