SHARP-Betty Ruth Sharp Friends and former students will be saddened to learn of the passing of Betty Ruth Sharp on September 6th, 2010 in Fallbrook, CA. where she lived with her husband, Bruce. Glendora had been Betty's home for 40 years. She was retired from the Glendora Unified School District, having worked for 27 years as a speech therapist.

In 1994 they moved to Fallbrook where they enjoyed new friendships and hobbies. Betty was a sweet, thoughtful lady who cherished her family and friends. Her kindness touched many lives, and she will be greatly missed. Services were held for Betty at the Fallbrook Presbyterian Church on September 11th.

This Candle is for you Grandmother... I miss you every day, but I know you’re in a better place now. You made me who I am and are the reason I'm here where I'm at today. I thank you for that. I love you!!! Thank you grandmother... You were always on my side... You were always there for me. You give up your golden years for me... You raised me! I could go on and on about what a wonderful, special person you are to me and about what all you've done for me! There isn't enough time in the world for me to put it all here. I cant put into words how much it means to me what you've done for me or how much YOU mean to me! It'll never be the same without you. Rest in Peace... I Love You... Good Bye for now...
