I am so sorry for Sharon’s passing. She always had a smile. I got to know Sharon when she worked at Lake Center in Winona. She loved her husband and I always enjoyed her stories of going to the races with him. When she lived in Winona, she had her little pug dog that she loved so much too. I use to run in to Sharon and Bob shopping in La Crosse at Woodmans a few years back, and it was always a delight to catch up with her. I am very sorry for her family and friend’s loss.
Rest in Peace dear cousin.

Bob; You have my deepest sympathy. I just read about Sharon and emailed Vern to see what happened. I would have been there if I would have known. We had a lot of fun together. Take Care. Michelle (Sanders) Smith
Bob; I am so sorry to hear about Sharon. I wish I would have known that it was in Lake City on Saturday. I live in Wabasha but would have come. We sure had a lot of fun together. Good memories. Take Care.
