So very saddened that Sharon seemed to leave this world at a young age.
She was always giving of her heart & love.
Many memories of her while I worked at the tax office. Sharon would come running in with her grandchildren, telling stories of all the places she was taking them.
She was excited in her voice & in a hurry, but always happy with a smile.
Thoughts & prayers to her family, friends, & all those close to her.
Extra thoughts & prayers to Joanna & Johnathan. As well as to Ethel, who loved working for her many years.
