Some of Sharon's immediate & extended family - what a great bunch!
The Celebration service began around 4:30 and was led by Martina Barnes, ordained minister and LPC. The weather was a perfect 60 sunny degrees. All who attended enjoyed extraordinary views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, beautiful music and great company.
After finishing the service, Sharon's family and friends continued the Celebration in The Crest Pavilion. A local Asheville band, Current Invention, filled the Pavilion with bright and joyous music.
Tim took time to thank everyone and to honor Sharon in his own words. The rest of the group followed with their own memories. The evening ended with Sharon's grandchildren putting on a "show" on stage. A perfect way to celebrate their Gram!
Thank you everyone for Celebrating Sharon with the family and for bringing such wonderful food. It was an evening to remember! We look forward to continuing the Celebration in Gainesville on Friday, April 24.

Tim and family, From looking at your photos, you have a lovely and supportive family. I will miss Sharon. She was an inspiration to me. We had some good lunches and conversations together when we both worked at Prudential. Sincerely, Debbie
What a joy to see you all and remember and celebrate our Aunt Sharon. I (and you) will continue to miss her, but I feel blessed that my aunt leaves a wonderful family in all of you. I hope to see you, Kristina, again real soon. Either we come to FL in the summer (Karen and me) or you come here to see Rob and his fam & the Hennessey clan! Or both!
Love you,
Krista
