Sweet Dreams, Miss General Idea

My sister, Arlene and I visited our elderly aunt at Leisure World throughout the 2004 year. At some point we met your sister and began visiting her whenever we were there. She spoke of her work at CBC including the time spent on Fraggle Rock. She was an extremely personable woman who was able to accept her illness with grace and dignity. I'm saddened for your loss. Janine Price and Arlene Fockaert.

Sharon & her brothers lived 2 doors away from me when we were children - they at 33, we were at 37; remember playing with Sharon & teasing Michael to say his name over & over - he always said "I'm Michael Jams" How sad and shocked I am to read her obit. There are no words to comfort you, please know that you are in my prayers & many many fond memories. Jane Dwyer
