To the McKusick and O'Connell families I send my sincere sympathy. Sharon was a classmate of mine and I was inspired by her determination
and courage to challenge her cancer and remain involved in life. We also shared a love of Davis Pond. The light that shines from the camp at the head of the pond in the evening will always be Sharon's.

To John,Kent & Sharon's family: My sincere sympathy to you in the loss of Sharon. She was a dear friend and when she was a teenager used to care for my children and visit us often as the McKusick family lived 'just across the field" from us. We have remained friends over the years. She was a loving, caring personality and I truly share in your sorrow. Marilyn "Ruth" Bennett
