Condolences
The family of Sharon M. Stoos has received the following condolences.
I am deeply sorry to hear about Sharon's passing. Sharon and I taught together at Fraser High School. I had the opportunity to work closely with Sharon for a few years before she retired. During my first year at FHS, I taught in Sharon's classroom for one block. She was always very friendly and welcoming to me and my students. Sharon was truly a caring, sweet, and thoughtful teacher and person and will be greatly missed. I will continue to keep Sharon and her family in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Stoos Family,
I am deeply saddened at Sharon's passing. Sharon and I worked together at Richards Jr. High and Fraser High School for over 30 years. Sharon was the first swim teacher for my three children. For many years, we swam at Fraser High School in the early morning hours before school started. Over these past years, I learned about your family through Sharon. She loved and cared for all of you, especially her nieces and nephews. There were many conversations about making it home to Minnesota for the holidays and summers to see everyone. Despite the miles that separated you, Sharon kept you close in thoughts and in her heart, always.
It is a lovely tribute to Sharon that she will be brought back to Minnesota to be with family, once again. I will truly miss Sharon's gentle soul and kind spirit.
With deepest sympathy and condolences,
Regina Cable
