celebrate the life of our beloved <strong>Sharon Elaine Agriesti<\/strong>\u2014our Mom, Nonna, Wife, Sister, and Friend.\u00a0 Your presence, prayers, and love mean more to us than words can express.<\/p>\n<p>The whirlwind of Sunday and the hustle of Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday finally ended.\u00a0 The logistics involving the funeral home, florist, cemetery, church, music, printer, popcorn, finance, and restaurant had been finalized.\u00a0 At last, I sat down on Thursday afternoon to gather my thoughts and prepare for this moment of reflection.\u00a0 Initially, I struggled to form a complete sentence.\u00a0 Inspiration struck from the trend emerging from the more than 100 comments on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/p\/15uaa5QP49\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mom&#8217;s Facebook obituary post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h6>What others Thought (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/p\/15uaa5QP49\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VIA <\/a>FACEBOOK)<\/h6>\n<ol>\n<li>Denice said &#8212; was <strong>a true angel, loving and giving in all she did<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Anna said &#8212; <strong>She was beautiful in every way\u2014so loving, sweet, smart, industrious, a hard worker who couldn&#8217;t stay retired.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Florence said &#8212; <strong>The world was a better place because of Sharon<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Mike M said &#8212; <strong>She was the sweetest person on this earth and always had kind words for me<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Ali said &#8212; <strong>I feel lucky that I had the chance to know her and experience the love and kindness she shared with everyone she came across<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<hr \/>\n<h6>Love and Compassion<\/h6>\n<p>So, how do you sum up the life of someone so full of love, kindness, generosity, and faith?\u00a0 Mom wasn&#8217;t just special to us; apparently, she was special to everyone she met.\u00a0 She had a way of making people feel seen, included, loved, and valued.\u00a0 Mom invested in people, whether through a warm meal, a listening ear, or a bit of guidance that helped shape their future.\u00a0 She was the kind of person who would give without hesitation and love without limits.\u00a0 Mom did it out of compassion rather than for fame, glory, or attention.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h6>Family<\/h6>\n<p>One of the greatest joys of her life was <strong>family<\/strong>.\u00a0 If you were blessed to sit at her table, you knew the joy of our Sunday dinners\u2014a tradition lasting over <strong>30 years<\/strong>.\u00a0 In the early years, it was either a home-cooked meal at her house or Grand China, where the staff knew our orders when we walked in.\u00a0 And every Sunday, her grandchildren were getting another special gift from Nonna.\u00a0 In recent years, we have eaten out more often than at home, typically at a different restaurant every week.\u00a0 I am positive many of you have seen the family huddle in the foyer every Sunday as we debated where to go.<\/p>\n<p>However, no matter what was going on in life, we always knew there would be good food, laughter, and the warmth of home at the table with Mom.\u00a0 She loved to feed people\u2014both physically and spiritually.\u00a0 Holidays were always meaningful, not because of gifts, but because of the love she poured into making every moment special.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h6>Work<\/h6>\n<p>Mom also loved <a href=\"http:\/\/osu.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>The Ohio State University<\/strong><\/a>\u2014maybe even more than she loved us\u2014not really.\u00a0 She was a season ticket holder for football for a long time.\u00a0 For many years, she and I had a tradition of attending the season&#8217;s first football game together.\u00a0 However, she always clung to the Michigan tickets until the last minute, debating whether she wanted to brave the cold.\u00a0 Those moments cheering for the Buckeyes were some of our best.\u00a0 Even when she wasn&#8217;t in the stadium, you could bet she was watching the game, probably coaching from her chair while folding laundry.\u00a0 Meanwhile, David tolerated her excitement with opera and a good pair of headphones.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h6>Faith<\/h6>\n<p>More importantly, Mom was <strong>a woman of great faith<\/strong>.\u00a0 She spent over <strong>50 years serving at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.calvarycolumbus.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Calvary Apostolic Church<\/a><\/strong>, touching lives with her kindness and unwavering belief in God&#8217;s goodness.\u00a0 She filled many roles through the years, and the one with the most tenure was the time spent sitting in the finance office processing the Sunday offering, balancing the finance sheet, and preparing the deposit.\u00a0 Interestingly, it was also in that office where she developed a working relationship with that eligible bachelor who had yet to be caught.\u00a0 Then, thanks to Robin, David joined a lunch table that one momentous Sunday afternoon with Mom.<\/p>\n<p>Not to digress in further.\u00a0 Mom lived her faith\u2014not just in words, but in action.\u00a0 She reached out to widows, lifted the weary, and reminded us of the power of love and perseverance.\u00a0 Even through hardship, she never lost hope or drive.\u00a0 Her life was a testament to one of her favorite songs, <em>The Goodness of God<\/em>.\u00a0 She knew that through every trial and triumph, God was faithful.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h6>Survivor<\/h6>\n<p>If there was ever a phrase that summed up Mom&#8217;s spirit, it was, <strong>I will survive<\/strong>.\u00a0 Life, for Mom, wasn&#8217;t always easy, but she faced every challenge with strength and resilience.\u00a0 She worked hard\u2014right up until the day she entered the hospital.\u00a0 She taught us that <strong>perseverance and hard work matter<\/strong> and that no obstacle is too great with God, faith, and determination.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h6>Conclusion<\/h6>\n<p>As I sat in my office chair, reminiscing about Mom and all the stories I could share\u2014like her constant home improvement projects or her adventurous spirit dragging David all over the country and around the world\u2014I decided to focus on the essence of my mother.\u00a0 See, Mom gave us a legacy: <strong>a legacy of love, of faith, of family, of hard work, and of strength<\/strong>.\u00a0 If she were standing here today, I know she would tell us to keep going, to work hard, and to take care of one another.\u00a0 She would want us to carry forward the love she so freely gave, to keep the traditions alive, and always to remember that no matter what, <strong>we will survive<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Mom, we love you.\u00a0 We will miss you every day, but we will carry you in our hearts, our Sunday dinners, our love for others, and every Ohio State game we cheer on.\u00a0 Your God-given goodness lives on in all of us.<\/p>\n<p>I love you, Mom.<\/p>\n<hr
