Our most sincere condolences to All of Sharon's family and friends. We first met when Sharon was a receptionist for the provincial government in downtown London. The "front line" for any and every caller to that office. A very busy, high-profile and many would say, stressful, position. Her responses to these calls were unmatched. A finer and kinder person we will never expect to meet. An open and generous heart, a pleasant word for everyone she met or spoke with, a spicy sense of humour, a total absence of any complaint or negative thought. Rest now in Peace, Sharon.
My deepest sympathies to Sharon’s family and friends. I have so many wonderful memories of Sharon and I at work and outside of work. It’s hard to imagine a world without her - her smile, laugh, determination, compassion and optimism. Heaven just became a little brighter. RIP Sharon.
My goodbye note to A BEST FRIEND When I close my eyes I see you smile, I hear you speak and remember your laugh, when I allow myself to flow through memories I cry but know those are gifts you left me My Memories of you are like colours of a rainbow Beautiful, magical, happy, and always a pot of gold I love you
Met Sharon less than a decade ago but the friendship garnered from her love for life and laughter will be forever remebered as a light for my life as well. A constant reminder she will be to the goodness within people
Sharon was my mentor when I first arrived in the London office. She was caring, compassionate and very patient. She had a wonderful sense of humor and I will always remember her laugh. What a lovely lady.

Sharon was a compassionate and dedicated Caseworker who made a positive impact in the clients she served. Her determination is a great example for all of us. My sincere condolences to her pets and family.
I had the pleasure of working with Sharon for a number of years, during which I grew to know an incredibly courageous woman, with a wit and accompanying laugh that I remember warmly after almost 40 years. She had a toughness and determination, wrapped within generosity, kindness, and simply put, Sharon was such a good person, and they really don't make em like that anymore. Sleep with angels, Sharon.
With great sadness I am sending my condolences to the family of Sharon. She and my step mother Blanche went on a few adventures together with alot of great things said about Sharon from Blanche. Sending hugs for comfort.
