I have and Stella would say so many wonderful memories of Sharon and Lloyd that a began at Wheelabrator many years ago. From the fun at company get togethers, guitar get togethers, dances, bike riding and just good old fashion fellowship. Sharon and Lloyd both were loyal friends and always supported others. Sharon, I'm sure will be missed by her church family and all who new her. Thank you Lord Our Father for the brief time we shared together.

Sharon was a most devout Catholic Christian and took her faith seriously. For the years that I was pastor in Bedford she ran the office quietly, efficiently and graciously. In her many years of dedicated service to Holy Name of Mary Parish, she had to deal with the personalities and styles of some nine different pastors, each with our own unique ways! Sharon was loyal and respectful to each of us. I will never forget that. What a beautiful legacy of kindness and goodness. I will always remember how touched my mother was to receive birthday blessings each year and flowers from the parishioners. Sharon was the thoughtful soul behind that gesture! I write this on the eve of my late mother's 99th Birthday, remembering a thoughtful, kind and dedicated woman of faith, hope and love. May Sharon now rest in the loving arms of Our Lord.
