Aunt Sharon was such a loving person. I hold many fond memories of her at their home as a child. Exploring the old barns and climbing the trees with all of my cousins. My favorite was the big stone fire pit and when Aunt Sharon would make us ice cream floats with Bryers ice cream and 7up. I'm so very thankful I was able to see her at a bonfire a while back. Peace be with you Aunt Sharon. I love you!

Debbie and Joy and Bobby, (these are the three I remember) our deepest condolences on the passing of your mom. We spent many times with your family when we were all younger. Your moms face and laugh immediately came to mind and I smiled remembering her. And your dad. My father worked at Ladish with your dad, and our parents were friends and "card playing" buddies. She still looks beautiful at 84 as I remember her younger days. We lost both our mom and dad, and I know the heartache, but she will always be in your hearts forever. Remembering Sharon, the Paupa girls.
