Skip and family,
Ginger and I were saddened to hear the news of Sharon’s passing. I can’t even imagine the loss you are feeling as a very large piece of your life gone suddenly. We wish we could have attended the memorial and provided our condolences personally, but distance and weather make it very difficult to attend right now. We will prayerfully continue to support you and the entire family in the weeks and months ahead.

Skip, I’m very sorry to hear the news that Sharon has passed. It’s been a very long time since we have seen each other. Many years ago we had a lot of fun, Sharon teaching me how to do perms and cut hair, and you teaching me how to drive. Because of Sharon I had a long and happy career as a hairdresser. She was my mentor.
My sincere condolences to you , Debbie, Tom and the rest of your family.
Mary Ellen (Bellaire) Chovan
