Although I only met you twice, you were a very sweet lovable woman I’m sorry I never had the time to know you better. May you rest in peace with the rest of your loved ones.

I had the pleasure of working with Sharyn in the Hamden Tax office. She was a great co-worker and a gentle, kind, and loving friend. I will miss her. Marc Sendroff
Sharyn came into my life just as I was becoming an adult. I wrote a poem about her saying that she had the perfect last name, at that time, Friend. She loved my dad and they were together for almost 40 years. She will be missed.
Jim & Bev May you rest in peace .We will miss you dearly .Love.
Wetmore and Burkle families, I remember Sharyn from Grange many years. Always very positive. Rest in peace Sharyn. Enjoy your Ohana that was waiting for you
