My sincere condolences to Sharon's family. I worked with her over the past 2 1/2 years, and she was always loyal and committed to our team. She'll be sincerely missed at Advocate Aurora Health, and I'll miss our early morning conversations in the office. God bless her family during this difficult time.Scott McCarten

Don,I wanted to pass along my condolences to you and your family. The news last Sunday from Linda really caught us off guard. Sharon looked well last month when we saw you last. I know she will be missed. Very sorry for your loss.Bill, Susie, Andy and Danny Jankowski

Don & Family,I am so very sorry for your loss. Sharon was a good friend to me and I am going to miss her immensely! At times Sharon would encourage me to open my eyes to look at a situation differently than I was, and I truly respected her for that. Her love for Jack and Scarlet was so touching; they made her so happy and she would have done anything for them. She loved and spoke very highly of you too Don and enjoyed filling me in on the Paul McCartney concerts the two of you went to (she could never see McCartney enough!) and shared beautiful pictures of your travels together. I am so happy to have had Sharon in my life and I will always cherish the friendship we had. May the many memories you hold close to your heart help to sustain you through this difficult time. My sincerest condolences.Yvette Petri
