Bill and family; Gary and family: I am sorry I was not able to attend Sharon's Memorial service. Sharon was a very dear friend. We didn't have a lot of contact over the years but when we would go to lunch or other functions we would pick up right where we left off. I have special memories from our school days. I know you miss her and I send my condolences to you
