Our hearts are broken. I feel blessed to have the time here in Florida with her and with you, George. You two have always been my second parents and we love you both very much. Losing Sharon is beyond words. I´m so incredibly sorry for your loss and to Brian and Ben for their loss of their mother. Losing a parent is so hard. It leaves a hole that will never be filled. My heart goes out to you both.
George, you and Sharon were like one person in my eyes. I am not sure I can think of a time I ever saw one of you without the other-in my entire life. That is amazing and a true testament of your absolute partnership and love. I have always admired that and hoped I would have the same when I grew up.
Sending all our love, prayers and strength.
Jenny, Jarrod, Claudia and Vincent

Dear George and family, I´m sending my love and sympathy to you. It´s been such a long ordeal but you and Sharon and the family have fought bravely together. My hope for you is to embrace her memories and share them with everyone. She was a wonderful life´s companion, and friend to all who met her. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
To Sandy..... no one can know your experience and grief of losing a twin. This has been so difficult. Love and hugs for your days, months ahead to find peace and happiness with her memories.. what a great sister
