  1. To Howard,Dan, Carol and families, So sorry to hear of your loss. As we all know our friendship goes so far back, we will always remember her gentle demeanor and her love of the farm. She was always receptive to change and the fact that she was willing to sell us the piece of land to build the Cabin of our dreams is unforgettable. Howard I miss our talks over the fence, especially when I was cooking kolaches and you smelled the stove as you were raking hay. The memories go on and on and a special blessing from our Mom Shirley who fondly remembers the sweet corn patch. All our love, Terry, Christine and Shirley Brosh.

  5. Howard, Carol, Dan, Tina, Emily and Lindsey, I’ll always treasure all of the memories I have of Sharon from our Kool and Nygren days. She greeted us every morning with a bright smile and was always so cheerful. I’ll always remember hanging out at her desk talking, heading to the Dragon for lunch, playing cards in the conference room, and the pure joy when the girls were born and how her desk was full of picture of her beautiful granddaughters and how proud she was of her family. May you all find peace in knowing she’s still watching down and is with you in spirit as you continue on in this world until you are together again in eternity. WIth love and hugs.

  7. Howard and family Couldn’t have asked for better neighbors. Always enjoyed sitting on your front porch and talking and watching the river. I never understood why you could find those mushrooms and I never could. Remember to look up at the stars at night and think about those you have loved. In love and friendship, Sue and Rich

  8. Howard,Dan,Tina,Carol,Emily, and Lindsey. We are truly sorry for your loss. We will never forget the bowling trips we took, especially the Nationals. We laughed, sang, drove, sightseeing, ate, gambled, and did a little bowling. If we could do them all over again we would. Sharon will always be in our thoughts and the memories will be forever.
