Dear Bea, don't know if you remember me, I worked with Billy for a couple of years there in Santa Fe when Sharon was born.
I just came across this sad news as I was checking on the internet to see how Billy was doing. I have very fond memories of you as the beautiful and wonderful wife of Billy and wanted to pass on my sincere condolences for your loss. Sending love and prayers from Australia, Louie (Junebug) Shelton.

Sharon was indeed such a kind person even the tone of her voice. "There is sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than 10,000 tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief and unspeakable love." My love is with you David. Chavela Esparza

Sharon was the kindest heart and the gentlest of souls! I knew her on the tennis courts and owe many a wonderful memory to her! My deepest condolences go to David at this great loss and to Jeanna who I knew loved Sharon and so appreciated the aunt that she was to her sons. To Bea Kaundart and all those who loved Sharon. My deepest condolences.

She always cared for others, thought of others first, even the animals of the world were so important to her. We will miss her and always wish there were more people like her.
