Sharon was one of my very bestest friends! I really don't know how I will go on without her, but I do know she was in such misery in this earthly life that she was "ready to go". I loved her so much!!!

I was so lucky to meet Sharon. She was married to my cousin David.
I never met her until much after David was deceased and she flew to Tucson, AZ for my Mother's surprise birthday party. (My mother's only sibling, Lloyd, was David;s father
I immediately fell in love with Sharon, and even though we only spent the one special time together, she never forgot my birthday. That's the kind of person she was
Our family is small and she will be missed
She was one of the most gracious and engaging people I have ever met
Love you Sharon. Your grace lives on
