My heartfelt condolences to Chris , Michele, and the entire family. Though I never had the chance to meet Sharon, it’s clear from the man chrid is how special she must have been. May she rest in peace, and may you all find strength and comfort during this difficult time
Sending love and condolences to the Noland family. Sharon was kind, loving, and the quiet support she and her husband Keith gave to me in high school has never been forgotten. We meet people in life through various circumstances and relationships and they often don’t realise what a profound impact their presence had in helping someone through difficult times. I will forever have the deepest gratitude to the Noland family. And to Sharon in particular for her unwavering kindness. Sending love to Keith, Chris, Jeff, and Matt as well as all their extended families.

It’s so hard when we lose a loved one but know God has His arms around you giving the comfort and strength you need.
We love you. ❤️🙏❤️🙏
