Bernie and family; my sincere condolences to you on Sharon’s passing. Thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Treasure the many memories and share them. Always a joy when I came to visit the Spicer family next door and both you and Sharon were in your gardens enjoying life and came over to say hi. God Bless
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Uncle Barney and Zachary and all of your family. Sharon was such a nice person. We always had a good time when we would get together. Sadly, I wish it had been more often.
Rest in Peace Sharon. I will miss your beautiful nature pictures.
I’m saddened to hear of Sharon’s passing. A great loss to her family & all who knew her. Reunited with her wonderful parents in heaven.
Sharon worked for me at American Rock Salt. Her gentile demeanor and love of nature made us all better stewards of the environment here at ARS. She continually educated me on the notion that ” the solution to pollution IS NOT dilution” She was able to take a joke and give one back which made her loved and respected by all here. Her work ethic and responsibilities have only recently been realized as she took care of so many items behind the scenes. She will Be missed but never forgotten here at American Rock Salt. Our payers and condolences go out to her family.
My heart and thoughts are with you, Donna, and your entire family.
I went to high school with Sharon. I am so sorry to hear this news. I remember her friendship and beautiful smile. Sharon, rest in peace my friend.
My Condolences to Jennifer and family.
Prayers and condolences to family and friends.
Sharon is a beautiful soul and I was blessed to know her
