        Hello to all Sharyn Power – Piercy's MPIP family and friends,

        My name is David Power, Sharyn's older brother. Ricky was kind enough to advise us of the link to this wonderful site. I respectfully ask, on behalf of the Power family, that you accept our heartfelt thanks to all of you for the expressions of love and sympathy that you have extended to us at this very sad yet bittersweet time. As all of you know, even those who have never met her personally, Sharyn loved life to the fullist and was one of the most generous and caring human beings one could ever know. She was a great educator, talented musician, dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend and everyone she touched by her gentle and positive approach to life was thankful for her unselfish kindness. She was courageous in her will and determination to keep on living even when the cure and future was uncertain. Simply put, she was a tremendous person and the world will be a better place because of her. Hopefully her journey will give all of us hope for our futures and appreciate the time we have here "Heaven on Earth". Sharyn wrote a song on August 4, 2010 called "Heaven on Earth". It is a very beautiful and natural, just like Sharyn, song about the simple things that meant so much to her and the Chorus goes like this:

        Well I can't go to Heaven, 'cause I'm already there.

        How better than this can it be?

        There's nowhere that I'd rather be than right here

        With friends who are like family

        This is Heaven on Earth to me  

        All of you should know that Sharyn spoke many times to us about her "on-line" family and friends and please know that your love, kindness and friendship helped her get through some of the more challenging and darker moments she had while fighting her battles with cancer. You were her inspiration in ways that we as a family could not be. She thought the world of you as you were her teammates and providers/sharers of information and inspiration for the past 5 years and you should all be very proud of all the positive contributions you have made to Sharyn's life and our lives as well. God bless all of you for that and rest assured that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers as you face your daily challenges.

        Sharyn requested that the Communion Hymn at the Celebration of her life be the song "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus. It is such a beautiful and moving song that she loved and helped her get through the tough times. I am sure she thought of her family and friends when she played it. I hope it can give you the will and determination that it gave her. Please think of her, your loving friend, when you hear it.

        Our  sincere thanks and kindest regards to all of you,

        The Power family
