Please accept our sincere deepest sympathy for the loss of your wife Sharon, who was a mother, a grandmother and a sister, a sister-in-law, a aunt and most importantly a friend to all who knew her. We share in the grief of you and your family at this sad time. Vicki and David, there is no one in this world like your mother. A mother is the rock that keeps a family together and someone you could always talk to about anything and no matter what she will always give you her unconditional LOVE! Remember she will always be there in spirit with you. Your mother's kindness was contagious, she was able to always put a smile on your face. Sharon you will be missed! I hope you are sitting on a chair next to my mother Josephine, like old times talking, laughing and keeping each other company in heaven. Heaven received two amazing angels, Rest in Peace,

When I got the news today I didn't know what to say So I just hung up the phone I took a walk to clear my head This is where the walkin' lead Can't believe you're really gone Don't feel like goin' home So I'm gonna sit right here On the edge of this pier And watch the sunset disappear, And drink a beer Funny how the good ones go Too soon, but the good lord knows The reasons why I guess Sometimes the greater plan, is kinda hard to understand Right now it don't make sense I can't make it all make sense So I'm gonna sit right here On the edge of this pier Watch the sunset disappear, And drink a beer So long my friend, until we meet again (I'll remember you) And all the times that we used to, Sit right here on the edge of this pier And watch the sunset disappear, And drink a beer Drink a beer, (drink a beer yeah, yeah)... This is a song! I did this, Sharon Died. And, I drank a beer and cried! David Vicki, Ken! Peace be with you, she’s in a better place, know she see us, know she’d looking down on all of you and the kids, rejoicing with those that went before her. And she loved you all. Mom mom said though she wanted to move to Florida she couldn’t bare to be away from any of you and the kids. And so she stayed. She loved you all so much!

Today we lost a very important puzzle piece to our family, that we were not ready for. From the very first time you came into my life,you were always like a mom to me and always treated me and welcomed me like your daughter and part of the family. I will never forget this mom. She was an amazing and remarkable wife, mom, grandma and friend, always accepting of people, always making people feel welcomed and always with a bright and vibrant smile. To our kids, she was not just grandma, she was their rock, their friend and their go-to person. With many face times calls, and late night text messages to giving them the best back rubs, and to always making holidays special to each of them. Mom gave a whole new meaning to the holidays and birthdays that can't compare, she just loved to give. The look on her face when she saw the kids was amazing and always happiness that no one can take from her. They were her world as grandma was theirs. It is sad to think of the holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and marriages coming into the future without you, you will be missed, we will continue to carry on all traditions and continue to take care of dad. You will be all of our forever angel in life, wish I can hear and talk to you one more time. Mom will always be there to watch over us, I love you and miss you mom, my heart hurts, until we meet again, love you always and forever.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family,I know the feeling,the loss of a spouse can be very hard to handle,you have a wonderful family,keep close to all of them, it worked for me and it will help you get though the sadness of your loss,Sharon was a wonderful woman,you got so many good years together,always keep that in your mind,it helped me get through the hard times I had.Kenny you can call me anytime if you need some support,or just to talk,I remember you telling me about Sharon years ago at one of the drivers breakfasts that she had some health issues ,no more pain or suffering now,she is resting now and free from all the past health problems.This will be such a major change in your life now,but you will get through it,it's hard at the beginning, but as time goes on you will slowly adjust to all of this,you never forget,I still think of my wonderful wife everyday,it will be 4 years soon,it feels like it all happened last month,time will heel, your kids and grand kids will keep you going,take care of yourself,keep in touch,Nick.........................

It's so hard to put genuine love and affection for a person into words. My grandma was present in so many ways throughout my entire life. I have memories of being a little boy and having her push me on the swingset as I named off Toy Story characters, I remember pretending to be turtles in the pool. As I got older I'd go and spend the day with her and we'd go to lunch. I'd talk her ear off about literally anything. "Christmas at Grandma's" was an event for Nick and me every year, and that has been taken from us. I feel as if every day I find something new that was once so commonplace but has now been changed without my grandma. I can't bear to think about holidays and family gatherings in the future, as my dad put it, she truly was the glue that kept my family together. She won't get to cry happy tears at my high school or college graduations, she won't get to see me walk down the aisle one day getting married, but I'd like to think that my grandma will watch me from above as I take all the lessons and values she's taught me over the years and grow into a man she can be proud of.

I sucks to write this because it means accepting something so difficult to comprehend. Sharon, from day one you and Ken treated me as one of the family. I will always cherish the parties and gatherings and miss your kindness. Heaven gained a wonderful spirit and I know you’ll be looking down with pride on those you touched and holding up your glass of champagne. Love you !

This smile you always put on me and Anthony’s faces when we were little.....the smile you always put on everyone’s faces. I am missing my best friend a little extra today. I went to grab my phone to facetime you to show you all the colleges I’m applying too, than I remembered. Oh Grammie how much I miss your sweet voice so much! You were the bestest friend and grandma any granddaughter could have! I have never fought with you a moment in my life. You were the one person I always got along with and the person who I shared the most laughs with. I still continue to talk to you every day and I just pray you can hear me. You are now my biggest guardian angel and I am so proud I get to have you on my shoulder everyday, guiding me through life as I become an adult. I love you forever GRAMMIE! -Bree

Last week I basically lost my second mom. I remember being with the Antonelli family all the time. We always felt the love and joy that Aunt Sharon brought to the world. Her laugh and smile were contagious. We were always overjoyed to visit. Even though I always ate more than my fair share, it was never an issue for Aunt Sharon and her kind and generous heart. I am really at a loss for words. May you rest in peace! Love Joe, Rosemary, & Grady

Sharon.......it's Valarus. None of us were prepared for this outcome, yet here we are deeply saddened, confused and uncertain. From the time we were little it has been You and Me. I for one do not know my life without you. Growing up we shared in joys, sorrows and everything in between and later even grandbabies born on the same day. Julie, Tracy, Joey and Jason call you Aunt Sharon because that IS who You are to them. Always accepting, always loving. We are ever grateful to have been blessed to have you in our lives. I love you my cousin. We love you and miss you. Valerie

Sharon, 49rs ago I received a call from Ken,Ithought He was calling about getting together with the guys.When I answered, He said You wanted to talk to Me(Ithought Oboy I'm in trouble again)Ialways seemed to have been putting my foot in my mouth and You would say"OH JOSEPH BE QUITE".Instead You asked me if I would do You a favor,there was a wedding coming up and Your cousin wanted to go and was wondering if I would take Her.I asked You who your cousin was and You said Valerie,whom I had danced with once at a previous wedding. Sharon that one phone call changed My life forever,it gave me a chance at A WONDERFUL LIFE,IT GAVE ME THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME.By saying yes and marrying Valerie We became family and were together all the time from raising are kids together to going on some of those fun vacations(BEACH BEND PARK in Bowling Green Kentucky) was my favorite especially when I found out that the singer Ronnie Milsap had bought it and cleaned it up,Being that Ronnie Milsap was BLIND My expectations weren't to high,but because of You and Val We had a wonderful time even though I heard a lot of "OH JOSEPH BE QUIET". What Iam saying Sharon is that I personally owed You so much and it pains my heart that I never told You this before,Iam hoping You can here this in heaven and You will forgive me.Your Great Smile and Wonderful personality will always be with Me. When the kids were young,David and Vicky called You MOM our kids called You AUNT SHERNER and that kind of stuck. So SHERNER,Val and I will do whatever We can to look after Ken and the kids like You and Ken did for our kids when We moved to Florida. SHARON WE LOVE YOU AND WILL MISS YOU FOREVER. JOSEPH

How do I even start something like this, where do I begin, this is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, MY MOM, I think I drove her nuts, but she was MY MOM...I know God has his time for everyone, I just prayed he would have given her some more time. I wanted her to see my Kids, and my sisters kids graduate, get married, she will have to do that from above now. I pray that she speaks to my Dad, he needs to hear her. I really hope there is something in the life after and your really with Grandma Ann and Grandpa Chuck, and the rest of your crew growing up as they left us way to early as well. You were loved by everyone, you were easy to love. I am going to miss you so much, I cannot believe I cannot pick up a phone and just call you anymore, my life is forever changed because of you, I know you made me part of who I am today....Sadly goodbye for some time to come, But I am still talking to you everyday, I hope to hear your voice somehow someway.. I LOVE YOU FOREVER, I love you MOM.....

Sharon, it is so hard to put into words how much I will miss you. I will always be grateful for you as a dear friend, who put up with my crazy times. You were with me through it all. My children will miss their other mom, too. They always knew they could go to you with anything. We had great fun times that I will never forget. You were and always will be our angel and the kindest person I ever met. I just don't know what Lavergne does without Shirley now. Love you so much, Shirl. Until we meet again, rest with the angels.

Grams, you where the best grandma ever. You where such a good person and cared so much for everyone. You brought joy and happiness to everyone around you all of the time. I cant believe you are gone and It still doesn’t feel real and I wish that were the reality. I can’t express how much you have done for me ever since I was just a baby. You have created so many great memories in my life that I will cherish forever. I can’t imagine what Holidays and Birthdays will be like without you. The only thing I know is that it will never be the same without my grams. No more of you and pops coming to my hockey games and cheering me on. No more of me and anth driving oberwies to your house. No more FaceTime calls. No more being able to see you agian. It is so devastating for me to not be able to have those memories with you anymore. I just hope that you are in a better place now with god. I know that you will watch over all of us and keep us safe from heaven. I know that you will be my guardian angel and lead me to make the right decisions. I love you so much and you will never be forgotten. I will always look up to you. Rest In Peace to my grandma and my best friend...

Today we’ve lost the glue that kept the family together. This loss can’t possibly be put into any words or sentences that can convey what she meant to all of us. Friend and family alike. So much more than a wife, a mom, a grandma...she was the foundation of which family is built upon. The load bearing wall to which my wife Vicki, her daughter, leaned upon. Her rock, our rock. To our kids and her grandchildren, grams was the Easter bunny when they were little and Santa Claus every year there after. A second mom to me when mine was still alive....my mom there after. A grandma to my son Vinnie when she welcomed him into the family as her own all those years ago. We love you Mrs. A......I love and loved you as a mom. Until we all see each other again....rest in peace.

My mom was my best friend. She was my person. The one I always called when I needed to talk. I could go on and on about anything and she would always listen. The loss I am feeling is indescribable. My heart hurts. My mom showed me so much love because she had the biggest, best heart. I was so lucky she was my mom! People just liked my mom right away when they met her. They could see that she was genuine, kind, caring, honest, loving and so generous to all her family and many friends. She was also very funny! We would make each other crack up so hard that we couldn't stop. My mom has taught me how to be a good person, wife, mother and friend. She was the best example of a person I could ever have had to follow all these years. I would like to think I am a lot like her and that makes me so happy. She will live on in a very special place in my heart. My mom always said she felt an angel sitting on her shoulder when she needed it. My mom is now a sweet angel. I hope and pray she sits on my shoulder the rest of my life. I will love and miss her forever.
