I´m sorry to not see this until over 2 years after Sharon´s passing. She was my roommate at Oklahoma State University. We had a great 2 years together. I remember her enjoying a clean room (as did I). She was too far from home to go home every weekend, so she used her time to do chores and study ahead. I only lived 1 hour away, so most weekends I went home. I was always glad to get back and see her.
She studied most of the time. Not much "going out" as her boy friend was in school in Shawnee. Mine was at OSU so I got out more. Probably why she had straight A´s all the time.
I remember her friendly smile, positive attitude and always studying or writing to Gary.
Sharon was a bridesmaid in my wedding.
Condolences to her family. Time does not erase the loss-but maybe her family will enjoy hearing more about her.
Love you, Sharon
