Sharon and her family were a big part of my growing up -- from Girl Scouts, junior and senior high school through our first steps into adulthood. I can not begin to recount the fun times and laughter we shared on Westgate Avenue. I am so sorry to hear of Sharon's passing but I feel grateful for having know her and the Williams clan.

Still so hard to accept that Sharon is no longer with us. She was a special person, brilliant, and very generous to all. She made many contributions over her professional career. Our deepest sympathy on your loss.
