So sorry to hear of Sharon’s passing. I got the pleasure to know her when I worked at NQNH. A very beautiful lady and will be missed by many I’m sure. She always had a smile and probably still has while watching over her family.

To Sharons Family,
Being a 2nd cousin to Sharon I really do not know how to accept the fact that my beautiful and dear friend as well as my next door has passed. I will dearly miss the stop-ins, a bit of quick conversation or the wave of the hand while she was out for her walk. God must have a very important purpose for Sharon. It has been such a privelage to know her . She will be missed by all who knew and loved her and left with beautiful memories . Goodbye my dear friend, Always in our hearts.
I don’t even know where to start because it doesn’t seem real. Sharon was such a wonderful person and will be missed by all those who knew her. I will miss our morning chats and our lunches where she always made me laugh. Hugs to all her family during this difficult time.
I was shocked and saddened like so many others to hear of Sharon’s passing. I met her while doing work at the nursing home. It was always a pleasure dealing with her. Her warmth and sense of humour will be missed greatly I’m sure. My thoughts and deepest condolences go to all of Sharon’s family and friends.
Though I didn’t know Sharon as long as many of you she has touched me in a way that I cannot describe. From the day I started at NQNH she was always patient with me, kind to me, and tolerate of me and my mistakes.
She always made me smile when I felt sad and she always lent me an ear when I needed it….
I feel lost without her. My condolences to Vance & the rest of her family.
