Amber, we are so sorry about the loss of your mother. She was a shining light in life who loved everybody. Jim especially enjoyed being on the Catch-It-Calf Committee with her. The Coop just won't be the same without her jovial greeting.

Sharon was a lot of fun to be around. At high school games, the fair or at the Co-OP, she always had time to talk. When she smiled, her whole face smiled! She will be missed.

If you were lacking in laughter, that wouldn't be a problem when you were with Sharon. We've had many many years of great times together, mostly playing softball (in our younger days). Sharon was a true friend, wonderful wonderful person and an exceptional mentor for the young. Sharon you will be missed more than you can even imagine. I will miss you tremendously.
Your friend

I'LL NEVER FORGET SHARON'S SENSE OF HUMOR AND HER LAUGH. WHEN SHE WORKED AT THE CO-OP SHE ALWAYS SPOKE TO THE CUSTOMERS AS IF SHE HAD KNOWN THEM ALL HER LIFE.

GOD BLESS.
