I am so sorry for your loss. Sharon was such a sweet woman who always was so friendly to me when ever I got to see her. She had a certain spunk that would always make you smile just being around her. She will be missed greatly by everyone who knew her. Take care and may peace be with you in this difficult time. – Adriane Reeves
