Hey Chickadee you were the sunshine and the life of Walgreens every day that you were there. You always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. I miss our conversations whether it be about our health or what we did over the weekend for fun or maybe it was about how Toots got her name. I know a special place for you was made on your final journey and one day we will meet again and continue our conversations. Rest in peace my dear friend and know that you will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear, Sharon. Wow, I did not know that you had passed away. I asked about you while I was in Walgreens a couple of weeks ago. I missed seeing your smiling face. The other Sharon told me that you had retired due to health reasons. I did not pry.

Today, I asked another employee how you were doing. That is when I learned of your death. I want to let you know that I truly appreciate all of the encouragement and support that you gave me through the years. Your warm smile, generous hugs, infectious laughter, and words of wisdom helped me to deal with my husband's sickness, death, and beyond.

I know that heaven's gates swung wide open for you. You were such a blessing here on earth. I am glad that we had the opportunity to meet. Until the time that we shall meet again in that place where sorrow will be no more, I wish you a fond farewell.

Love, Taj

I cannot believe she has passed. I have known her for four years, I worked with her at walgreens and she was my MaMa. She was always telling me when I was pregnant to eat healthy...so that was when she became my MaMa. I will miss her so much!

Our condolences go out to Ty, Trent and other family members; we share your loss. Sharon was a wonderful neighbor bridge club partner and friend who we both enjoyed being with. To identify her as a "people person" is the perfect description. It was impossible to talk to her for more than 30 seconds without sharing a laugh and launching into another story. People who make you feel good just to be with them are rare. Sharon was one of those. She was loved by many and will be missed!

I have known Sharon since 7th grade at Roosevelt, and have kept in contact through the years. Sharon was truly the most people person I ever knew. I remember going to the teen dances at the Y, many with her dad and his dance band playing. We had so many great times. She was such a fun character. I know she's making many new friends (as well as meeting her old ones) in Heaven right now!
My thoughts and prayers are with her family and all her many friends who will forever miss her.

I first met Sharon in 7th grade. We shared lots of fun times, sleepovers,bleaching a blonde streak in our hair, cokes at Perry's. We would work on our tans in the summer covering ourselves with baby oil and iodine.
Sharon helped serve at my wedding. After we were both married our children went to school together and we lived in the same neighborhood.
She truly was a people person and a good friend.
My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

To all of Sharon's family,
My condolences go out to the whole family. I am so saddened to hear of Sharon's passing.
I went to school with and was friends with Sharon during those years and visited the Dalamas home quite a lot. Sharon was always very nice and not a judgemental person. My husband & I used to go to Paul's restaurant a lot in the 50's & early 60's and that's where I last seen Sharon many years ago.
