Momma I miss you so much. I love you and I'll see ya later.
For so many mornings in the past few months, Vicky and I along with Vicky's mother Phylis Gandy enjoyed breakfast at Willowbend with Sharon. Sharon always had her special creamers for that Willowbend coffee.
We talked so much about her past family history as Vicky and her mom are from the Trumann area.
She was so exciting to be going home after her long rehab for a broken leg.
She prayed every morning and told us how much she loved us and Phylis as we were leaving.
It was such a shock to find out on Saturday afternoon that she had passed. We would have been at the services had we known earlier.
We loved Sharon and had already started missing her from our morning meals. This Sunday morning Willowbend breakfast was especially hard.
Heaven gained a very special lady.
So sorry for your loss, I know what a shock it was and how much it hurts. We love you both. Ann and Buddy.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
