Sharon Rypkema

My deepest and most sincere condolences to Denny and the girls. Sharon. You know how difficult it is for me to express my feelings, and now I need to write them. So here goes. Ever since we were little kids, you always had a motherly attitude over me,Carol and Denny. We always kinda looked to you for guidance whenever Mom was not around. Between you and Mary, Mom didn't have to worry about what we were doing. One thing about all of us kids. We were all there for one another. I saw this same motherly instinct a little later in life when you and Denny started raising your own daughters. As I have looked back on our lives this past week, I see alot of things that could be changed. But I wouldn't. Our upbringing is what made us what we are and I like what we are. Sharon. I'm going to miss you deeply. Even though we were miles apart, our phone calls made it seem like we were closer. Rest in peace, Sharon. Until we meet again. Bill

Sharon was a good friend and neighbor!! As a member of our Woman's Club, we got to be close and fun times and good memories together! Prayers for the family during this most difficult time!
