To my dear friend, Sharon Bronsink. I was so surprised with Bev's call that you had gone on to glory on Tuesday. You were one of the toughest ladies I've ever met, and continually stated you had a long life yet to live. I remember our car ride just before Christmas to see the Christmas lights - from East Grand Rapids to Kentwood, and beyond. You had not been able to get out much at that time and were so eager to do so. We had so much fun, and shared many laughs. While my heart aches for you, I am so happy that you touched my life, and at last you have regained your strength, and are pain-free. Most importantly, you are with Jesus. God Bless You. Looking forward to seeing you in Heaven. Betty J. Near
