I am shocked and saddened by the passing of Sharon Baines. I have worked as a vendor to Anders Williams for 20 years, and have known Sharon for most of that time. She was instrumental in my starting my own business in telecom and was a loyal client, friend, and customer. My condolences to her family and the Anders Williams organization
