Dear Wayne~ I am so very sorry for your loss. The Wyckoff's sure have been through alot of sad times over the past few years. My heart aches for Zac who has to endure the pain of the loss of his mother at such a very young age. I wish there were words that could reach across the many miles between us and give you both a warm comforting hug. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. I will call soon....All my love. Chris (Jim sends his sympathy also.)

There is a tremendous hole in our hearts. The kindest and sweetest person on the face of this earth has left us for a better place. Zac and Wayne, you have been through so much. We can’t imagine your pain as ours is overwhelming. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Zac, Sharon’s mom and brother. There was no better friend, no better confident, no better person to put a smile on your face. She lit up every room she walked into. Sharon placed all others before herself. She loved her family more than you can imagine.
The world is an emptier place without her. Heaven is a much brighter place with her arrival. Rest in peace our best friend.

I have been so saddended by this news of Sharon's passing, We were high school friends and I last saw her last year, We talked and laughed about old times. We really had some good ones! Parties at her parents house, road trips when we turned 16! Fun times!

I am praying for the family!
Rest in peace Sharon,
You will forever live in each one of us that knew you!

Wayne, Zach, Betty, & Joe.
You are all in my thoughts & prayers at this time. I talked with Sharon quite a lot when she first found out she was ill.
She had the best spirit about the whole thing & was like "lets just get on with the treatments". She had a wonderful sense of humor & was one of the kindest people I have met. My sister Nancy loved Sharon as if she was her own sister & my son Justin had a special friendship with her. She will be greatly missed, but we will have the many wonderful memories of all the time she spent with our family. God now has one more Angel to look down upon us all.
Love,
Teresa Selph (Collard)

"Father, I ask You to bless my friends, relatives and
those I care deeply for,
who are reading this right now.
Show them a new revelation of Your love and power.
Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their spirit at this very moment.
Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy.
Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence through your grace.
Where there is need, I ask you to fulfill their needs.
Bless their homes, families, finances, their goings and their comings.
In Jesus' precious name. Amen.”

Sharon was one of my very good friends in high school and I am deeply saddened in learning about her illness and her death. My thoughts are with her and her family at this time.
