Sheri, you are always in my heart and mind. Each day I see a gift you made for me or a picture you sent. Your little Violet is fourteen now and it seems like yesterday you called to say you were a grandma. How happy you were. We miss your laughter and your smile and your voice but you are always with us. Talk soon again. We love you.

Cannot even believe it's been six years!!! Thinking of Sharyn, Tara, Violet, and family....

I miss you everyday, Mom. Happy Birthday!

The anniversary of your earthly birth day is tomorrow. You so enjoyed celebrating life in all its forms. Miss being able to hug you and to laugh with you because you didn't show your gray hairs. You are always young, my dearest friend.

My friend Sharyn, I was thinking about you today and all the great memories. I truly miss you❤️ So many beautiful memories and well I just miss you

Another year of missing you. Another year of only memories. We know you are in a special home with family and friends. We will always love you, dearest sister/friend.

Happy birthday mom! I miss you every single day!

Good morning and Happy Heavenly Birthday, dear friend. I saw your face in my mind and there was your amazing smile. It lit up your eyes and my heart. I miss you every day. I have so many great memories, wishing I had many more. You are missed by so many but mostly by Tara and Violet. I'm sure they talk about you daily and they know you are watching over them. Hug yourself and your family for us and know we love you always.

Four years since we heard your laugh but we see your smile in all the memories you shared with us. Miss you, dear friend. We will hug again one day. Love always.

Mom, it's been four years since we had to say goodbye to you. Some days, it still feels like it was just yesterday. You continue to be missed every day! 

Happy Birthday Mom! You are missed everyday. Lucky for us, we have purple items all around our house so there are constant reminders. :)

I don't get to wish you a happy 75th birthday, just happy anniversary of the day you were born. I sure miss our talks and laughs. You are part of our new adventure with all the memories I brought back to AZ from KS. I see you in every room. I get to share you with our family. I know you are well and safe in God's arms and He is watching over your girls. Violet is growing up and He and Tara are keeping her safe. I love and miss you always, dearest friend.

Our world changed three yrs ago. We will always miss you but our memories are full. We will see you again, dear friend.

It's hard to believe that it's been three years since we said goodbye. Each and everyday, we miss your smile, your laughter and your wicked sense of humor! But as always, there are so many reminders all around us of your love - whether it's the potholders that you made or the *numerous* purple items all over our house. :) We love you and you will be forever missed.

Here it is birthday time again. Hope your cake has purple frosting and three beautiful Angel candles. I miss you, talking to you about silly pet tricks and special granddaughter events. I miss hearing your wonderful laugh and consoling our tears. The memories we shared are not far from my thoughts. Neither are you. God has you now but you are still in our hearts forever. We love you dear Sheri.

Tara and Violet. Prayers for you to have wonderful memories to get you through each day, knowing how much you are loved from above.

This is a sad and glorious day. We lost a very dear friend and she found a new life without pain. Sheri is very missed by all who knew her, especially by me. But everyday I talk to her and see her in every room. I know she watches over us and is very proud of Tara and Violet and the life they share. God blessed all of us with our Sharyn. We love her always.

Tara, Violet & Family... I still think often of your Mom, her smile and laugh AND, of course, purple everything!!! Love & Hugs....

Two years ago today, you left us and have been missed every day since. However, I still feel joy when I think that you were finally able to be with Dee Dee (Melody) again. I love you all!

Happy Birthday Mom! You are missed every day! I'm so grateful for the time that we had with you. Violet still talks about you and definitely misses you!

Good morning dear friend. Wishing you a Happy Birthday as I have for more than fifty years. You are spending this year again in the arms of God and family, but we are missing you every day. Love you and we know we will see you again.

It was a little over two years ago that mom had the surgery to remove as much of the tumor from her brain as they could get. It's hard to believe that it's been that long yet in many ways, it feels like it was just yesterday. I miss you every single day, Mom! Lucky for you, you left your footprint on our hearts in the form of many memories. Oh, and you left us some great stuff that I see daily in our home - afghans, artwork, pictures, etc. I love you, Mom!

It seems hard to believe it has been two years. I know she is happy with DEE DEE and watches over you and Violet every day. I pray she watches over me too with my struggle with Parkinson's Disease. Memories are important to me especially now and I have many with you and your mum and dad. Love ya.

Tara, I think of your mom often and laugh and cry at so many memories of our time as friends. She had such an infectious laugh and big smile.
I hope you have peace knowing she is watching over you and Viiolet. I hope she is watching over me too in my difficult time. Love to you always and prayers for you both. Tawny Owl. (J)

No words can ease your pain. Keep wearing purple and keep smiling in her memory! God bless you and comfort you.

I wished you a happy birthday a few days ago, but I believe that this is the anniversary of your real birthday. Home with the Father and with your besties, what a better celebration could there be. Miss you and love you always.

I still find myself sharing stories of Sharyn and her love of "purple"!!! Her smile still shines brightly along with her wit and pride in her girls - Tara and Violet. Thinking of all of you with Love...

Today is weird. It's the first Oct. 26th without mom to call to wish her a happy birthday. This Saturday will be the first year she will miss Violet's birthday party since she had moved to CO. I miss her every day but somehow my heart pulled me toward wearing purple today so she should be smiling about that!

My dear, dear friend. Today is your birthday and you are in a peaceful place with family and friends. We sure miss you and think of you each day.  Our prayers now are that you will always be watching us and laughing at our attempts to get through life without stubbing our toes too many times. Our love is always with you. Our love is always with Tara & Violet, too, as you watch over them. We will see you again, dearest Sheri.

Tara - I know how hard this day will be for you. I miss my mom everyday but trust and know that your mom is always with you. Hugs!

Violet's birthday is 10/18 (tomorrow) so this is the first year that mom won't be here to celebrate it. Last year, she and Joe made it to Violet's birthday party on 10/22... then a week later, she was gone. When I think on it, it is still (to this day) quite surreal. I miss her everyday.

3/19/94 will forever be etched into my mind. It is weird to not have Mom here to call or text to see how she's doing. However, like you said Barbi, I know she is finally with Dee Dee (Melody) and they are celebrating together instead of Mom mourning like she had for over 20 years. It is actually a relief to know that this March 19th, she is finally HAPPY.

Another day and I'm thinking of you. Today we are remembering a sad day, but you are celebrating a reunion. You and Melody and Randy are together, and we will see you again, someday. In the meantime, we will continue to love you and laugh at the same old stories. My dear, dear friend. Sure do miss you.

Hi dear friend. I have been thinking about you a lot lately. Everywhere I turn you are there with something you have given us. Daily I use the blanket to warm my legs. Nightly I smile at Precious Moments. You will remain with me always and I will see you again in God's heavenly embrace.

Here's to my beautiful friend Sharyn. We met in 5th grade & although my family moved to N. California, we remained in touch over the years. I was so happy to see her when I visited S. California & grateful to have spoken to her by phone, our last call being on her birthday this year. A few years ago, Sharyn sent me a copy of a photo of us with Davey Crockett & his sidekick at Disneyland. I had to laugh because I still have my copy of that same photo. Sharyn & I went to Disneyland when it first opened. We turned those tea cups as fast as they would go & giggled at how our white socks & clothes would glow in the blacklight on the rides. When we were kids, we sang a lot together. One of our favorites was "Sisters." I will miss my sister, Sharyn, the rest of my days.

My deepest sympathy to your family for the loss of your loved one. Find comfort in God's promise to soon end death and pain. Revelation 21: 3, 4

Sharyn "with a y" was active in WMWA widows group and was always cheerful to be around. She was a support to Joe DeMers in his cancer treatment. Little did he know that their roles would be reversed. He gave her many good times and she loved her jewelry gifts from him. We will all miss her but know she is safe now. My husband also died of glioblastoma in 2000. They have a special place in heaven.

Tara,

I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear Mom. Looking at the pictures, the loving tributes, and knowing you, I'm sure she was a remarkable woman. Our hearts are with you and your family.

I met Sharyn only about three years ago when she moved to Colorado to be with Tara and Violet. Right away, it was obvious that Sharyn loved the color purple!! Right!!???

When I think of Sharyn, I “see” her smiling face and laughing eyes; I hear her chuckles as Joe tells me another one of his great jokes or stories.  About a year ago and over the course of a few months, I spent a lot of time with Joe and Sharyn… I saw the love they shared and the sweet, thoughtful things they did for each other. I listened as they told me of road trips in Joe’s Vette and showed me gifts to each other. I looked at their pictures of places visited and memories created. Together, they planned for their home and future. 

When I visited Sharyn at the Rehab Center, she made it clear to me that she’d love some chocolate! With my second visit came a basket of a variety of chocolates! She dove in immediately!!

I’m grateful that I met Sharyn and was able to share time with both her and Joe.  I know you know, Tara, what a special lady she was… that Violet knows what a special Grandma she had…  AND how proud she was of both of you and that she loved both of you Very Much. Thinking of YOU….  Love & Hugs…

tara, so very sorry for your loss. sharyn was so sweet. enjoyed my time working with her here at badillo elementary. prayers for you and your family.

Tara,
We are so sorry for your loss. We will remember your mom's beautiful smile and her sense of humor. You are in our prayers!
George & Judi Luebke

Tara, You are in my thoughts, and I send my heartfelt condolences for your loss. I know how special your mother was becasue of the person and mother that you are.  Brenda

I've not seen Sharyn in many long years but she was a very sweet young woman and it's apparent she remained a lovey person, wonderful friend, mother and grandmother. May you all have the peace and comfort of our loving Heavenly Father. until you are able to be together again.
Jamie Atherton Niekamp

Tara, So sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. May God grant you comfort and peace. I didn't know she was an alumni of Azusa High. I was 2 years ahead of her. Take care and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. Sending you love ❤️God's blessings, Sandy Hunnicutt Terpko

Tara...I was so sad to hear about your mother. After high school we would occasionally run into one another, and later we settled in Charter Oak, where we once again ran into one another. We would talk about friends, but mostly family...oh how she loved her family! I'm truly so sorry for your loss! My prayers are with you and family.

Tara, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Losing a mom is the hardest thing in the world, but know she will always be with you. My mom is with me everyday! Love to all!

Tara
Fond memories of how Sharyn's Mom and Dad welcomed me as a son when we were dating. They taught me how to play pinochle-many contentious games with Mom losing patience with Dad's stretching the rules.
I will always remember your mom's child like enthusiasm for anything and everything she was engaged in. So much fun.
Know you are comforted by our Lord and Savior in your great loss.

Sincerely

Jim Jernigan

Tara - I'm so sorry for your loss. I'll be thinking of you and your family during this time. I'm here if you need anything at all. Erica

Mom - your humor and light will shine brightly... always!

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. This is a beautiful way to celebrate your moms life. Lots of love to you and all, she had a beautiful smile and just from the pictures I can tell she lit up the room everywhere she went.
