Sharon and Mary Fran offer comfort food—rich, tasteful, nutritious, and easy on the heart. —Mark Herringshaw, PhD, Pastor, North Heights Lutheran Church
Sharon Knudson and Mary Fran Heitzman know how lost and alone a woman can feel after experiencing the devastation of death or divorce. They know because they’ve been there themselves.
Sharon speaks at women’s retreats, support groups, and staff training events to provide encouragement, biblical principles, and practical advice for overcoming trials as well as reaching out to those who are presently walking through the fire.
The Lord was very precious and near when Sharon spoke at our Women’s Retreat. Since then, I’ve gone deeper into the Word than ever before. —Fern Blodgett, Evangelical Free Church, Women’s Ministry Board
