Sherrie shared pictures prior and following the funeral  of the gathering of family and friends on Shutterfly.  It was a wonderful tribute to Sharon.  Thank you to Sherrie for making these available so promptly for those who could not attend in person.

I noticed the florist made an error.  There were two flower arrangements from the  Aunts and Uncles.  The larger was correct.  The smaller arrangement with the identical card should have read:

In loving memory of our beloved cousin from Michelle, Bodie, Bonnie,  Kim, Buddy, Kye, Kirk, Cary, Sherrie, Scot, James, Seth, Courtney, Mike and Mary.  

There is nothing we can, say or do to bring you back but if we could we would do so much more with you and tell you a lot more that we love you. I know as your daughter in law you were always as pretty feisty as I was. We had some interesting conversations (we will keep them between us). You're great grandson Jullian said he will miss playing with the trains with you. You will always be in our hearts. 
This song is from your loving son kirt

A note to my wife....Our 46 years of marriage on earth has ended, But you carry my heart ♥️ no matter how far away your journey is. 

“ If you get there before I do, Don’t give up on me, I’ll meet you when my chores are through.
I don’t know how long I’ll be,
But I’m not gonna let you down, Darling wait and see. 
And between now and then,  till I see you again, I’ll be loving you”
~ Love Me, 
Your Devoted Husband, Jan 


Look up to the sky, Now tell me what you see? A cloud, the moon, or possibly the sun? Many answers there will be. When we look up to the sky, I’ll tell you what we see. We see our mother, and she’s looking back at me. She tells me she didn’t want to leave us, but it was time for her to depart. It was the hardest thing she had to do, and it’s breaking her heart. She tells us we mustn’t be sad Because she’s finally pain free. She’s found her place in heaven underneath a blossom tree. She’ll always be there to guide us when we’ve felt we lost our way. She’ll always be there to comfort us and wipe our tears away. She’ll always be there to share our joy and laugh at the jokes we make.
In order to feel her presence, only a little imagination it’ll take! 
She may be in the form of a butterfly or simply a floating feather, or better yet hovering over like a busy bee or simply part of the weather.
    You’ve all come to say your farewell, but for us it’s not GOODBYE. If we want to see you, all we have to do is look up to the sky! 
Look after Joey for us Mom..
Sweet Dreams, we love you, Donny, Missy and Jeremy


Sharon was my friend for years and years. We probably met in 1970 or around there. I love you Sharon. I wish I could be there to celebrate your life. My condolences to Jan and the family. My heart aches at your loss. I am praying for all of you. May you find the comfort that can be found in Jesus. He is the only one who has gotten me through my grieving over Roger's loss.  Love you Sharon see you in glory! Father, care perfectly for this family as only you can. In Jesus name I ask this Amen
  Jan, Donny and Kirt I love you...I am so so sorry.😪

This is from Aunt Bev.   I was only 9 when Sharon was born. So we spent agood part of our childhood together..   All memories will be cherished  forever in my mind and heart.  We both loved picnics in the mountains.  Watching Ed show cattle ev ery January'  Fishing as a teenager with Uncle Kenny  and myself at a little creek down by Wichita.  Saved a 4 inch fish to take back to  Colo.I could go on and on.   Thank goodness for memories as they never leave you


Sharon, as one of the older cousins as been in every ones memories.  Playing Break the ice in the back room once it was added on.  Getting ready for her wedding as the flower girl. Staying at her and Jan's house when we needed to be at Children's Hospital early.  Her cheeky smile and sarcastic funny (runs in the family-nothing wrong with it all).  So many memories, usually at the top of the yelling list with Grandma Winters- Shirley, Sharon, Shelly, then finally Sherrie. lol  Loving her little doggies and her games.
