I just found out that Sharon had passed away. She was my dear dear friend in our early days of raising children in Irving Texas. I have many photos of Jeff and Jason with my boys, Phil and Brandon. We stayed in touch for many years, but I lost touch with her when she moved to Lubbock. After we met, we discovered that I had graduated from Monterey High school the year after her sister Trudy graduated. What prompted me to look her up was a letter I found from her that was written to me a year after she and Roger divorced. I loved her dearly and am so sorry I didn´t try to connect with her sooner. She was one of a kind.
