I remember being invited to your 70´s themed house party (so excited to be included) and the ridiculously wrong shoes you wore for our hike in Muir Woods when we were a bit more grown up. The books that were bigger than Charlie when he was born and the sparkle in...

So sorry to hear I guess a person can die of a broken heart. RIP Sharon you did all you could do
