Sharon will be missed by so many people but mostly by her husband, children and grandchildren. She had such a wonderful way about her and her humor was something to look forward to. She had a strong love for Jesus and it showed in her daily walk. She always had time to pray with anyone who asked. Sharon, we love you and miss you and are looking forward to the day we will all be reunited with Jesus.

I have so many great memories of my Aunt Sharon! When I was 2 she and Lorraine used to put me in my stroller and walk around downtown West Des Moines (Fifth St - now Valley Junction). We would stop by Dandy Diaper Service and visit Grandma Phillips and mom at the windows as they worked. She used to paint my fingernails. When I was 3 she took me downtown to the ice cream store. She told me to eat my ice cream slow or it would give me a headache. I ate it too fast and crawled under the table because my head hurt. She laughed at me. I was always happy to be aound her and she will always hold a very special place in my heart. I look forward to the day we will meet again. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you who are missing your mom.
