I was privileged to know her in KCK. I was a school social worker and Sharon was my "go to" when I needed wisdom of working with Gifted. But, she was a better friend! I was lucky to be housed with her for many years, too. I especially remember our Parker time together. She made a difference in lives of our kids and ME! As these years pass and you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Dave and family, You have my sincere condolences on the loss of your beautiful and loving wife and mother. Sharon was always so nice to me from the first time we met at Pierre's salon. Before locating to Kansas City, I lived in Manhattan Ks., and worked at K State, we used to share stories of the college and town. Memories of Sharon's kind spirit from many years ago still bring a smile to my face. God bless, Bob Scorti

Sharon and I shared many wonderful memories growing up in Salina. She was a very special friend. Once I moved to Colorado, I didn't see much of her but when we did get together it was always a fantastic visit. She will be missed by friends and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with Dave and the girls and Karen and her family!!
