So very sorry to hear of Sharon's passing. She was a special friend since 1953. We shared so many fun times in high school and beyond. Weekend fishing trips with she and Stan, gatherings at Higgings Lake with Bud, and specials times at our class reunions over the years, We shared a birthday month and always looked forward to those phone calls.
It was special talking about football and our kidsl over the years, both having a boy and girl. She will be missed indeed by many. Thanks Sharon for all the great memories.
My heart goes out to the family, may God Bless you during this very difficult time.

I have many memories of Mrs. Cabala, from 1965/66, as my 5th grade teacher at Holy Rosary. Our class would play math baseball, learned to sing The Ashgrove, and were named the Clodhoppers for the school intramural basketball game (which the 5th grade won that year). However, one of the most important events to take place was that David was brought home. I remember the excitement of that announcement. I think Cristin came home the following year. Please, accept my sincere condolences to the Cabala, Eurick, and Clarke families. Theresa Grzesiak Moore
