"I?m so sorry for your loss of Sharon. She was a very special lady. I enjoyed so many stories about her family and how she loved them. She definitely fought the fight and worked hard for her independence to the very end. She made the world a better place! She will be missed!"

"Sharon, you were a great friend and cheerleader to me during your life. I will miss our visits and dinners at Pomadoras where we would spend hours reminiscing about the \"old days\" and high school antics:) Heaven has gained a beautiful soul! I love you, Gail"
