With Sharon's passing, we will so miss her smile, positive outlook and her willingness to console and comfort family and friends. Whenever you were in her presence, she made dark days bright and sad days happy. She was not only loving for family and friends but she also cared for the dogs, cats and horses that filled her life with joy. Conversations with her were also upbeat and heartwarming. We will dearly miss her.
