Experiencing the lost of a beloved family member is one of the hardest thing that any of us can go thru. And because of this my thoughts and prayers are with your family. Take comfort in knowing that God never intent for us to deal with sickness and death. But have assure in the wonderful promise that God holds out to us. He promise to reunite us back with all those loved ones that we have lost. (John 5:28,29) Until that time, cherish all the wonderful memories that you have of Mrs. Sharon. These precious memories will console the family in the day’s ahead.

  • I’m so very sorry to hear about your dear love one. Losing those we love is always difficult, Take comfort in knowing God understands your pain and he will help you heal. The bible says God is close to those who are brokenhearted and he saves those who are crushed in spirit, psalm 34:18

  • Joe and Debbie Hannigan

    We were so saddened to hear of Sheri’s passing. Sheri was a very unique person and full of life and had a great sense of humor. I always enjoyed seeing her at our quilting guild meetings and talking with her and Bob on their way home down the street from where we live in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Our deepest heartfelt condolences go out to Sheri’s family, and to her husband Bob.

  • Ron and Eve Taylor

    Bob,
    You have been on a long, hard journey with Sheri these past many months away from home. Now that journey is over and we know you will remember all the good years and fun times you spent with Sheri.

    We will miss her quick wit, sometimes salted with sarcasm, her bright mind and her friendship.

    The years we all spent together in Bible studies, both in Pagosa Springs and in Tucson will be forever cherished.

    Words are inadequate when saying good bye to Sheri, but we know we will see her laughing face again.

    Love in Christ Jesus,

    Ron and Eve
