Jeannie and family, we were so sorry to hear about your loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Guy is in so many of our great memories of Sharon-Mutual Elem. and FBC of Sharon. We remember the many smiles and soft laugh he had at both places. We remember Guy and you coming out and running the concrete around our Mutual home. We still enjoy the rustic cross he made for us! We are thankful to have known Guy Winters and his kind, giving heart! Our hearts hurt for your loss. With love and prayers, Jack & Sherry Braud
