This time of the year is supposed to be 'the good times'. It is supposed to be when there is the coming together of families once again, with laughter fun good times. For you Sharon's whanau, it will be instead be now an ongoing time of special memories and quiet contemplation. Christmas time will now be always bitter-sweet that way. As you so eloquently say- ' she will be missed but never forgotten.' My sincere condolences to you Dave, you her family, Lorraine and Gerald- we lay out the good times- the Kaponga days, and times when those memories you are reliving now were being first made. Arohanui..

Our deepest sympathy to all of Sharon´s loved ones as you now navigate life without your beautiful wife, Mum and Friend. Sharon was an amazing woman. I had the privilege of caring for Sharon´s parents in their home first her dad then her regimented mum. Sharon, along with her beautiful friend Michelle lived in when necessary. Nothing was ever a problem for these two beautiful ladies. The love and dedication Sharon bestowed upon her parents was a treasure to witness and learn from. She was meticulous in everything she did from the beautiful gardens she kept to her immaculate housekeeping. When she spoke of her children her love and pride just oozed they were her reason for life
Hold tight to your beautiful memories to the lessons she taught you and the influence she had in your lives and her legacy will forever live on
