Rufus and Family: I’m so very sorry to hear about Sharon, what a great loss to everyone. Sharon was my buddy/friend at work taking me under her wing working in Contracts and after work. Sharon was a kind thoughtful and always kept herself looking good young lady, she will be missed. God Bless the Dyer Family.
Randall,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Rufus and family, Harold and I are so very sad to hear of your losing Sharon. Our daughter works at PAX and read us the notice she got while we are here in all of our favorite place – WDW.
I enjoyed working with Sharon and having folks confuse us for each other. It made us laugh to have her called Claire and me called Sharon, which happened quit often. Her expert knowledge and dedication to her work were a great example for all of us who worked within the contracting world. Whether on the requirements side, as I did, or the awards side, as Sharon did.
Please know our prayer are with you.
Most sincerely, Harold and Claire Ketcham

Dear Rufus and family, I was so saddened to learn about Sharon’s passing. Please accept my heartfelt condolences to you and your family during this time of grief. Blessings
Rufus and family: Sharon and I worked on Base at Contracts many years ago. I will always remember her sense of humor and her belly laughs (we had a tough job and she made it fun), and the love and joy she felt for her family. She passed on her birthday – what a wonderful day for her to be released from her pain and walk into the arms of Our Lord. So sorry for your loss. I will keep your family in my prayers.
