Sharma is a remarkable servant of our Heavenly Father. How grateful we are for our association with her. In serving with her in Church Education, hundreds of lives of youth and young adults were blessed because of her valiant service and testimony. It was always a delight and honor to see her in the temple. Our most sincere condolences go out to each member of this remarkable family.
