So sorry to hear this news; I had just corresponded with Sharon on September the 6th to see if she would be going to our High School reunion and she said she was sick. Didn't say how sick.... Knew Sherrie from Gorrie to Wilson to Plant. Our families did lots of things together the most memorable was a plane trip to Miami with them before they went to Cuba. Also our trip to New York City after Christmas in 10th grade. Got to see the Peppermint Lounge!!!!!! She will be missed.
Love Carol Marks Wright
