Carla Olson (Hoffschneider)

Sharon was the kindest soul you could ever know.  She died of ALS so if you get the chance to do the ice bucket challenge please do it for Sharon.

I, too, remember Sharon as an exceptionally kind and sweet-spirited person.  What people often saw as shyness, was (to me) her thoughtfulness.  She often waited to understand more about a person or situation before commenting or joining the conversation.  My prayers now go to her family....for the LORD's Peace to cover them and His blessings to encourage them to be the people He--and Sharon--know they can be.

This is the second person that I have known that has fallen victim to ALS.  A disease that so little is still known about that I thought was restricted to famous, eccentric, white guys, like Lou Gehrig and Stephen Hawkings, not to high school sweethearts.  I too will remember Sharon as somebody special.  And I too  didn’t see her as timid but more in control of her emotions, culturally refined, never saying anything improper and yet with that girl next door glow, warmth, and friendliness that she shared with everyone. Kind of like Julie Andrews in “The Sound of Music” or “Mary Poppins” although I don’t think Sharon flew and I’m not sure if she sang. I will always remember Sharon and Rita Gillet as two of the most loving people that I have ever met and I will always remember her fondly.

I am sad to hear of Sharon's passing...ALS is a cruel disease...we lost a kind and gentle soul to this disease in GJ about 5 years ago.  The tragedy is that this disease strikes people in the prime of their lives:(. I salute the ice bucket challenge and hope that it continues to raise lots of money, so that in the very near future a cure for ALS will be found.  Sharon's family is in my prayers...May God bless all of them with His healing.
