OMgoodness i'm so sorry to hear about Sharon. I was wondering about her just last week. She was my favorite for years and years in Indianapolis at the Crossings Apartments. She then moved to a condo after several years. She was so so talented in many ways. She helped lift the cloud of grief when my husband Bob died. She told me at the funeral home that she had never heard a cross word from our apartment EVER. She said she always heard laughter or violin playing. She used to open her door and listen to me play on Saturday mornings when I practiced. I didn't know that for many years. She let the 'cat out of the bag' one day when she commented on something I was playing. I have missed her and will continue to miss her. She was a great great person!!
