I was so sorry to hear about Sharon‘s passing. One of my fondest memories is always coming to the Gabos household on Christmas night and spending it with Carole and all of your family. I had many wonderful conversations with Sharon. I will be having trees planted in her memory. Then she will be part of the Earth, gazing up to Heaven. She may be physically away but will always be a part of your lives because you will always carry her in your heart.
Dear Boats& Family, I’m so sorry to learn of Sharon’s passing. Even though it’s been years since I’ve seen her, it obvious Sharon still continued to positively impact people. I’ll keep you & your family in my prayers.

I just heard of Sharon’s passing. I am deeply saddened but have great memories all the way back to 1964-65. The Sound of Music at St Benedict’s started it all, Boats will remember. I am hoping that I can make it in, health and weather will dictate. Prayer will continue.
We express our deepest condolences to your family. Mrs. Gabos was nothing short of kind and lovely every time I had a conversation with her. I will always remember her fondly. God bless.

I am so sorry to hear of Sharon’s passing. She was always so sweet and kind. My heart goes out to her family.
Hello, I’m Tom Ward’s BIL. I hate to even be writing these comments but; Sharon was a wonderful person. Every time we had the opportunity to spend a vacation week with the Gabos’ on Hilton Head Island, She was very welcoming and always treated my family as if we were members of her family. She was so kind, selfless and hugely committed to her family. Sharon made us feel like it was important for us to be there to share that vacation week. We all know that we lost one of the best ones way too early. Love, Kurt and Betsy.
