Leaving a legacy of laughter and passing on the gift of giggles to the next generation is what i will remember most about my grandma. Sharon Peterson had an infectious laugh that we all can still hear everytime my dad Curt,my aunt Debbie, my uncle Jeff, my uncle Rick, my late uncle Mark, all of my cousins, and my brother and sister giggle. Such a beautiful gift to inharate. Words alone can not express how much this laughter has contributed to our family’s happiness and aidded us through hard times. I am proud to be a Peterson. I will cherish the memories of my grandma. She is greatly loved and missed by all who knew her. Love always, one of the two Cheetos girls Louise Peterson
As I reflect upon Sharon I feel blessed that I had the chance to meet her yrs back when I became closer friends with Tommi and met Rick. With 4th of July’s to Bbqs and a recent Christmas shared with her, time stood still, like an old friend we started back up laughing. Hearing her laugh was contagious and would make you smile. I’ll cherish our memories, until we meet again. RIP my friend! Love, Celeste
Sharon,
My friend, my family,
My traveling buddy.
How could you go without me?
Mising you
Love Lee
