Sharon was a wonderful lady and great friend! I have so many fond memories from my childhood that she was involved in. Her smile and laugh was infectious! She was one of the ladies from church that wouldn´t hesitate to help anyone out, if she could, or just be a shoulder to cry on whenever life got tough.
Rest in peace dear friend!
