"Sharon was a true lady, and she was someone I was greatful to call my friend. We both came to the City School District at the same time, and we both had beautiful daughters the same age so we had lots of things in common to talk about. We also met monthly at the retired RCSD ladies' luncheons and had many laughs and exchanged stories of what our daughters were up to. Too, when she manned the help desk at work, she saved my techno challenged self with patience and compassion. I will miss her very much, her smile, laughter, and presence. See you later Sharon. With love, Win Ward"
