    For Brian and family,
    I am saddened to find out of Sharon’s passing. I worked with Sharon at the CBC as her supervisor for many years. Thru life events, we had lost touch. She was a professional, dedicated, hard working and fun colleague. She lived life to the fullest and I always enjoyed her weekend recounts upon arrival on Monday morning. She now rests in peace. My sincere condolences to you Brian and her family and friends.
    Sincerely,
    Lise

    My Sincere Sympathy in your loss of Sharon.
    We were high school chums many years ago,
    I have so many fond memories of years past.
    I so wish I had known she was living in GrandBend
    and then BlueWater Rest Home. Over the years we
    lost touch and so wish we could have reconnected.
    You left wonderful memories. Rest In Peace
