Dear Wyona and David,
I was so sorry to hear of Sharon's death. I pray that God's strength and peace surround you in the coming days. Wyona, please know that Mom always appreciated your words of wisdom when Jana was born. They meant so much to here as she and Dad began making decisions for her. She often remarked how much she admired you for the selfless dedication that you gave to Sharon. Sorry I will not be able to attend the services, but I have to take care of my granddaughter this weekend. Just know my thoughts and prayers are with you.
