I was so sad to hear of Shar's passing. Such a vibrant and kind person. I had the pleasure of knowing her through church and later in a water aerobics class. My thoughts are with you and family.

May all of us realize we gained more through her life than we have lost at her death. Blessings!
I am sorry about Shar’s passing. She was a great supporter of the schools and the teachers. I truly appreciate the support and encouragement she gave me in becoming involved in teaching for ALI. It was a worthwhile experience. I also appreciate her support in attending St. Paul’s church when I spoke there.
She will be missed by the family, by many friends, and the entire Chelsea community.
