It was my pleasure to have cared for Sharon during her brief stay at the Theresa House. My sincerest condolences to her family.
To the Burrus Family…I’m sorry to hear of Sharon’s passing. Sharon “friended” me this past year on Facebook. She mentioned how fond she was of my parents. My Dad was pastor of Faith Bible Church where Sharon and Bill and family attended. I didn’t know she was ill, and saw of her passing on Facebook. Again my condolences to you all. Praying for Gods comfort and strength.
To the Burrus Family…so sorry to hear about Sharon’s passing. She “friended” me this past year on Facebook. Told me how she and her husband Bill were so fond of my parents, and how much she appreciated their friendship from their days at Faith Bible Church in Honeoye NY. Thankful she was trusting Jesus as her Lord and Savior. Deepest sympathy to you all……Barry McClenaghan
I am so saddened to learn of Sharons passing. She was my first cousin, and struggled so to know more about her Hollebrandt family. She was such a loving, caring, sweet, gentle soul. We had chatted a lot last year, and the year before. We had not been in touch for several months. I had no idea her conditioned had worsened. I just found out about her death. She had sent me so many pictures that she had of the Hollebrandt family, including my parents, and our grand parents. I wish I could have spoken to her in her final days and weeks.
To the Burrus family: I will miss the many phone calls I shared with Sharon. She would seek my advice as to how I was handling Pete’s sickness and what to do to help him. My advice to her was, You will find your strength in Jesus and he will be your comforter. So that is the same advice I will share with all her family. Know that your parents are together and smiling down at all of us. God Bless.In Jesus’love,
Dear Family we will miss Sharon so much. She was my First cousin and whenever possible when we returned to NY from Florida we would get together. We loved being with Bill and Sharon. We are comforted to know we will see each other again in the future in our heavenly home. We extend our sympathy to all the family.
I am so saddened to see this. Your mom meant a lot to me growing up. She was a wonderful caring woman. I spent a great deal of my childhood staying at the house and going to church with you all. I am just so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with all.
Ps I won’t be able to come and show my respects because I don’t have a car
