Sharon was an amazing person! Growing up I wasn’t close to my family and she pretty much pulled me into hers. I called her Mama!! Always had a smile and the best laugh you’ve ever heard!!! She’s going to be missed and I’m grateful for the chance I had to know her and her wonderful family!!!

Aunt Sharon was the dearest aunt, and one of the biggest influences in my life. From the time she married my Uncle Lew, there was an instant bond for me. I’ve always felt her love, and that special bond, and I will miss her forever.❤
