Sharon was very kind and helpful to me as a teacher. She always made me feel like she "wanted" to help, which was very important.

Sharon, you will be truly missed. I've known you for 35 years, when I use to pickup Bob and Jan from Romine to go to the after school program at Hunter Daycare. And who would have thought that we would work together at the IRC for 24 of the years? Kiilsgaard Family, Be Blessed and know that you are in my prayers. Love, Jo Anna (Patrick) Taylor
