What a lovely lady. I always enjoyed how she supported Cindy at shows. She always felt so comfortable with everyone and seemed to so glad to be there enjoying food and fun. I loved how she loved.

Sharon was like a second mom to me for several years as I was friends with Cheryl and lived down the street. I remember how she was witty, smart, funny, and a great role-model. She always amazed me that she knew about so many topics. I'm sure she loved life to the fullest and will leave a void in many hearts. Condolences to family and friends, may God comfort your heart ache. Rest in peace.
