Robert and Marianne SturgeonWe met Sharon while living in Palm Coast, at our Palm Coast Bible Church. She was kind, loving and very concerned about people. She always had a thought to share with you about health, family, friends and life itself. She loved the Movies our church showed and the concerts. Being Diabetic she shared things with me about medications she was on and doctors she was dealing with. A doctor she was with helped me with my Diabetes and needed endocrinology help. And we helped her when she herself had several "episodes" We assisted on her grand daughter coming to Florida with flight information and travel and helped her clean Sharon's house when admitted to local hospitals. Sharon was a wonderful friend whose soul was blessed by God. She is now an angel with no more Diabetes and she has no pain or needs insulin or medication. She is truly "God's child". We look forward to seeing her again at the Lord's coming.

Cindy LesterSharon was a wonderful person that was always there to lend a helping hand. I worked with her for about three to five years before she moved. She helped me and our participants with Alzheimer's disease in preparation for activities and socialization with them. She has a kind spirit and a giving heart. My condolences sadly to the family. We had a lot of fun in the earlier year's! Love, prayers and hugs, Cindy and Tim Lester

Patti Damm ShanholtzerI've known Sharon since we attended elementary and high school together in Mundelein. She will be remembered as a sweet, sincere person and will be missed by all her Mundelein friends.

John FisliIt may sound trivial to describe a friend as a 'good person.' I disagree! Sharon will be missed but not forgotten. My condolences are heartfelt. I hope that Sharon's family will be comforted by her friends' and classmates love.
