It was such a sad loss for the world to lose someone so sweet and nice as Shari. Will miss her 🙏🌹🌺💕
She was one of the best friends I could’ve ever asked for. She was a great listener and she loved my cats like her own Peanut and Petey. The 4 short years I knew her wasn’t long enough, I miss her so much. I want to say thank to her family for including me in this. I love her very much.
It was with deep sadness that I learned of Shari’s passing. She was a cherished friend for many years who had a genuine sense of empathy and compassion for others. Her faith in God was at the core of her being and never waivered even through all the health challenges she faced . Shari now lives with Jesus in heaven and rests in eternal peace. Rest well my dear friend.
I am greatly saddened Shari was truly an angel on earth she held me up in prayer in my darkest hours, when I lost my son to a drunk driver, when i started at paychex, I’ll never forget her coming up to and putting her hand on my shoulder and telling i have you in my prayers. we’ve been friends on social media ever sence and held each other up and prayers, peace be with ,the family….
Shari was a dear friend since high school. She and my mother used to ride the same bus to work downtown and my mother loved spending the time with her. Shari was a kind, generous person who lived her Christian faith. She truly loved her family, friends and pets. I’ll miss our early morning messaging and conversations.
Shari, you will be missed and remembered always. Your gentle kindness to me, my family, and our menagerie of cats you loved so much. Your thoughtfulness meant so much. Rest in peace, sweet friend.
I will always remember Shari for her gentle heart and caring nature. She brought such kindness to those around her. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to her family. May she rest in peace.
My condolences to her family and all that loved her. I will always remember her and her kind selfless person she was to everyone including her cats.
Sit with our lord Shari, you are now free of your medical hardships! Till we meet again. Love you
