Dear Warren,
I am so sorry to hear about Sharon. Even though we didn't get together that often, you were always kind enough to tell her I said "HI", whenever I saw you.
I was lucky enough to know her and will miss her smile and her quirky humor!!
You are in my thoughts, Love, Sally (Baudino)

Dear Warren,
Please accept our deepest condolences to you and family. I have fun memories of golf tournaments with her innovation theme costumes. After viewing some of her art work, I realized where the creativity came from. She will be missed.

Dear Warren,

Please accept our deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Sharon was such a gentle soul. We first met when we were both in our twenties and transplants to California. Our parents had just recently started seeing each other and that was our connection. Before Sharon and I met, Irene would talk about Sharon with such great joy and pride. Sharon turned out to be everything that her Mom was so proud of.

Over the years we saw each other at family gatherings and we always enjoyed and appreciated the warmth and friendliness that you both gave us.

Sharon will forever be in our hearts. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you.
