Sharon Myerscough (nee White), 74, succumbed to the ravage of Alzheimer's on Saturday, April 28, 2018 at her home in Mentor. She has fulfilled her vows of marriage, "till death do us part", made almost 55 years ago with her husband, Howard.  She wanted to 'go home' to the loving arms and embrace of family and friends who have preceded her.  For those of us left behind, we will miss and remember her gregarious laugh, beautiful warm smile, and heart full of compassion and empathy. To paraphrase a favorite song of hers; all yesterdays are now gone and tomorrow will never come but those moments in time that we shared daily have spawned memories. Those memories, as love, is forever. A private burial with no services was requested.  Her final resting place will be Mentor Cemetery. For those of us so inclined, please feel free to someday visit and ponder, share a joke, say a prayer with her.  She would love that.  Sharon knew that tomorrows have no guarantee and we will all be together again someday.

Thank you to Visiting Angels and Ohio Living Hospice for your kindness and support and treating her so graciously with respect and compassion on her journey.  Consider contributions in Sharon's name to Ohio Living Hospice, 38879 Mentor Avenue, Willoughby, OH 44094
