My deepest sympathy to Sharon’s family. I worked with her years ago at Montgomery Ward and caught up with her again as my backyard neighbor in Conneaut Lake. She was a truly kind and caring person.

My condolences to Sharon’s family. I had the pleasure of working with Sharon when she was in cable sales. Sharon was a great saleswoman, co-worker and friend.
Sharon was a dedicated and talented employee of Comcast for so many years. I was able to work with her and always enjoyed her energy and honesty that she brought to the workplace and her clients. I am so sorry to hear of her passing, and wanted the family to know what a great career Sharon had and how valued she was. I am so sorry for your loss.
Marian,
Please accept my deepest sympathies on Sharon’s passing. As time passes, may your sadness be replaced by happy memories.
Sharon and I worked in competing medias but we helped each other and were friends. Such a loss. Sharon was a kind and sweet lady. So sorry to hear of her passing. God has another angel now.
Dear Tom and Family Members –
To say that I’m sorry for your loss would be an understatement – but I am so sorry. I didn’t know Sharon well but got to know her some during the time we both spent on the Forest Hills East Condo Board. Sharon was exceptionally professional in her duties as Treasurer and made many significant suggestions and changes to how we do business which were extremely helpful. She was always thinking ahead. I also greatly appreciated her gentle humor and grace-filled presence. She prodded us to get some projects done even if it meant spending a little extra. I’ve been in your shoes and know that you have many hard days ahead. But the journey eventually becomes a little easier and the Lord will provide you with strength.

Dear Stang family,
My family and I are so sorry for your loss. While words fail to truly express the pain, know that our prayers and thoughts are there to encourage you. All humans feel the sting of death but the Bible gives comfort that God promises at 1 Corinthians 15:26 “And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing”. This is something that has brought me and my family solace when we’ve lost loved ones and we hope it encourages. Take peace and comfort. For comfort from the Bible, please visit bit.ly/Deathjworg
I always enjoyed working with Sharon and am thankful I got to get to know her a little bit through work and the BNI Networking group. I’m sorry to hear of your families loss. Truly a sad moment and my heart is with you. – Chad Adams
Sharon and I worked together at Comcast for 7 years. She was a consummate professional and one of the rare individuals in advertising sales who truly cared more about her clients than her commissions. Caring, warmth, sincerity, empathy, trustworthyness, humor — no BS. All ways I would describe Sharon. She will be missed. My sincere condolences to Tom and the entire Stang family. May you take comfort knowing that she is with God in a far better place — and that you’ll see her again someday when it’s your time to join her there. For now, press on. God is not finished with you yet.
