Sharon and I were friends while we were both students at Montclair State College (NJ) in the fall of 1970. She left after that semester and we lost touch for a number of years until her Linked-in account indicated a possible connection. We were able to talk and email a few times but lost contact once again. It's strange but my calendar popped up a notice today to let me know that Sep 19th is her birthday. I thought of her and did a Google search, sadly, only to find her obituary. Although she never met my wife, Gail, I hope Sharon gets to meet her in heaven. Gail passed away on 8/3/2021.

I met Sharon while we worked 3rd shift at Bank 4 Wichita in the late 70's. We became very close friends and shared good and not so good times, but we were there for each other. I regret we lost touch over the past years. She was a very special friend and I will miss her. She left us way to early...

Sharon was an absolute gem to work with and a steadfast friend with an infectious laugh and a way of getting things done that amazed and amused those she worked with. I count myself so fortunate to have called her friend.

My condolences to all her loved ones. She was indeed a very special lady.
