I didn't have the opportunity to meet Sharon. 3 years ago, through a mutual friend, Sharon heard about my husbands struggles with a lower leg amputation. She started sending monthly prayer cards and beautiful notes. Her messages were so uplifting.
After a few months of sending cards to us, I decided to write back to Sharon. We became "pen pals" for a few years.
After my husband passed away in Sept, I sent a letter to Sharon explaining he passed away. She never responded. Now I know why.
Even though we never met, I will miss my "pen pal"
Rest in Peace Sharon.
