To the family of Sharon. I am very sorry to hear the news of your loss. I can speak for my brother Dean and sister Laura that certain people you remember throughout your life have an impact, by going the extra mile for others. Sharon was that way. I cannot remember but a handful of adults from when I was going through school, but I certainly remember "Mrs. Ward", the best bus driver ever, who really cared about the children she took from home to school and back every day. I was very sad to hear the news of her passing. I am sure she will be missed dearly by all the people she touched in her life.

To Sharon's Family,
Our deepest condolences go to you. Sharon drove all three of our children to high school some twenty years ago. Living in the same neighorhood and going to the same church, we would see and talk to her on occasion. No matter how old my children got or how much they changed, she would always recognize them. She was such a joy and will be surely missed.

The residents and staff of Cedar Village of Schaumburg North & South wish to express their sympathy to Sharon's family. Sharon was the wonderful person who brought communion and a few laughs each week to the residents who found it difficult to attend Sunday Mass. This act of kindness and service has been greatly appreciated by everyone. She will surely be blessed and in God's warm embrace.

Sharon was my cousin. Most of my memories are of us living on Racine Avenue. Ladies day at Wrigley Field, going to Rivereview, and walking to St. Alphonsus school in the snow are favorites of mine.
God bless Sharon and her family, especially her grandchildren who she adored so very much.
Love, Eleanor (Snooky) Schreyer

Sharon always held a special place in my heart. She was not only my niece, but she was also my godchild.
I am 90 years old and can still remember the day I held her and she was baptized.
God bless Sharon and her family.
Love, Aunt Eleanor Haberkorn

Sharon was a neighbor, fellow parishioner, and was involved with Ruth and I in many ministries at St. Marcelline. More importantly, Sharon was a very close friend for more years then we wish to imagine.
Through all the tragedies that befell Sharon, she remained faithful to God and was a loving, caring person to all she met. She always went that extra mile in her service to others. We were fortunate to have her visit us in Tucson a few years ago. We had a wonderful time showing her the many attractions to be found in Southern Arizona. Her favorite site was Butterfly Canyon in the Catalina Mountains because it reminded her of Patty' love of butterflies. It just so happened that a butterfly landed on her shoulder.
Our hearts and prayers go out for Sharon and to each of you.
Peace.
Ruth and Dick Flam
