Crystal, I should have included this in my first message, but I was a little distraught to see that possibly the lovely Sharon I knew as such a good friend had passed away. I looked hard at the photo and it's been a long time, but I think I see her there. When she was in Alexandria, she wore glasses and her hair was darker, almost a brown color.
I remember the first night I heard her sing. She joined my husband and me on a night out, and the live band had invited anyone to sing if they wanted. I remember my jaw almost fell to the floor when she opened her mouth and began to belt out a big country hit song. I had no idea she could sing, she had never mentioned it. We went out again two or three times after that and I got very enthusiastic, as did my husband, when she took the microphone.
I'm a grandmother myself now of four lovely girls. If this is the correct Sharon, I would love to hear about her life after you moved to Florida. You can email me at the address given, and perhaps we can eventually talk on the phone.

Crystal,before I post anything, I just need to know I have the right Sharon. All the details sound as though she is, including the enormous talent she had as a country singer. Would you mind telling me if she worked at a department store in Alexandria, Louisiana, called Wellan's about 30+ years ago. If so, she was a wonderful friend to me, and she used to come to our house on a regular basis. I got pregnant in my late thirties, and had a daughter when my son was 17,and she was so loving and helpful. I'm almost hoping this Sharon isn't the correct one,because I will have to accept that she's gone. We lost touch when she and you, along with her father, moved to Florida from Louisiana. If you are the right family I can assure you that she absolutely loved you, and talked about you all the time. I've read your loving messages to her and she was truly a wonderful mother. I've thought of her often over the years.
