To the Bentley family.

I am so very sorry for the loss of this beautiful soul. She was truly one in a million. Always there to listen to you and solicit advice. You may not like the advice given but you could also count on Sharon to offer it. She was truly a beautiful honest soul. She will be missed.

I met Sharon after we moved into the townhouse complex where Sharon and Bill lived about 4.5 years ago. We had several conversations and realized that we had been brought up in the same area of Toronto, the Beaches area. We did not know each other in Toronto but made friends here in Brantford. We had many long talks about teenage years in Toronto over the next few years. I am going to miss these talks now that she is gone.

GOD BLESS

Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of Dear Sharon. I had the pleasure of working with Sharon at Loblaws in Toronto, many years ago. She was such a lovely person - always so kind and caring, and a very loving mom, very proud of her family. Heaven has gained a beautiful soul ❤️

Deepest condolences to you and your entire family Crystal. I was so sad to hear of your Mom’s passing. I will always remember her kindness and welcoming personality and it’s obvious that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Thinking of all of you and sending you all my love.

First and foremost my condolences to Bill, Crystal, Trevor and Cynthia. Aunt sharon is a remarkable woman always caring and wanting to help you in the need. She will be gladly missed and never forgotten. RIP

Scott and the whole Bentley Family.

Sharon has been a part of my life for the past 25 years.

First as the Mother of my boyfriend, Trevor and then 4 years later officially becoming my Mother-in-Law.

When I was first met Sharon (hanging at their house with Trevor after work) she made me feel like a Bentley immediately and opened her home and heart.

I quickly witnessed her joy of having her family, extended family and friends around her through the many get togethers and gatherings she either hosted (with Bill & her late mother Ellen) or invited us too.

I remember my first 'Bentley' Christmas back in 1995 and just stepping inside the door to their house filled with happy chaos of family, friends, music, chatter, noise and this was just the 'norm'.

No matter where she was her laugh would light up her whole face with such a delightful smile and would fill the whole room.

I experienced Sharon's love for those around her (especially her children and grandchildren) and the pride she took in sharing their accomplishments and listening to their challenges.

I remember many phone calls with her sharing some exciting news of a friend or extended family member, many times I didn't know the person, but that didn't matter as she was excited to share the news anyway.

The room will be quieter without you Sharon and you will be sadly missed.

Love your daughter-in-law,

Darlene

Sharon was like an aunt to me. She was my neighbour in the trailer park at Ringtail camp, she was always there when you needed her and if things got out of hand she would make it all better. She loved life and everyone that was in hers. I will miss you Sharon.
