I miss you more each day mom. Ryan is a senior in high school and about to turn 18 years old. Jacob will turn 13 in a couple days. You would be so proud of them and all of their hard work in school and hockey. I wish you were still here with us.

We were so saddened to hear of Sharon's passing. Jack and my daughter were classmates at Alisal, and I would see Sharon often, volunteering in the classroom or on field trips. She always had a smile and a positive attitude. She was so proud of her family and loved all of you so much! I know you have lots of good memories to comfort you.

I had the pleasure to conduct Sharon's volunteer recognition interview at VHS. She was a wonderful person, and I admired her devotion to help less fortunate kitties.
My heart goes out to her family. She left way too early.
