Sharon was such a sweet lady. She was always the first to warmly greet new members into the old NFSA family. She will always be remembered for her kindness and sweet spirit. May she rest easy with her Lord and suffer no more.
My condolences to Don and his family. Peace to you all.
So sorry to hear about Tuffy..She and Don..and Barb were friends for many years. May she Rest in Peace………
When Ken and I would comeback to Brazil from Purdue, we would always reminisce and visit. We had many good times together. Tuffy has always been the sweetest lady and a dear friend. I remember all of our little boys playing together. I was happy when Tuffy got her little girl and I got mine.
Bryan, Barb, and Don, So sorry to hear about your loss. Thinking of you and prayers for your family.
Bryan, my condolences on the loss of your mom.
A lovely lady.
One of my favorite memories of Aunt Tuffy was her beautiful smile and her passionate laughter. I remember spending some wonderful family Thanksgivings with her at Grandma’s house. In addition, I remember her warm hospitality and fun at Dietz Lake in her and Uncle Donnie’s cabin with our families together. Love and prayers to Uncle Donnie, Bryan and Barb and all the rest of the family.
Always enjoyed spending time with Sharon (& Don) as we traveled together for various NFSA trips. Particularly loved hanging together in Hawaii – climbing Diamond Head, running between stores in a massive downpour, etc. Sharon was such a friendly and kind person. So sorry to learn of her passing.
Love hugs and prayers for Donard ( that’s what my dad calls him they been friends for several years)
And for Bryan and Barbie and family. Love and light🙏
