Sharon Ann Sheffer

Dear Sharon,

We shared so many things and years together (including our trip to Mayrhofen, Austria in 1965) all through high school and afterwards we planned for the future. You were hoping to become the nurse and I was working toward becoming a physician. My parents adored you and I know your mom and dad felt the same about me.
Going to two different colleges, you to U of M and me at Michigan State didn't work out well because I was too proud and immature, and I lost sight of what we were trying to accomplish. I've always regretted this and I wish I would have told you face to face when I had the opportunity. Now it's too late but I hope that some way somehow you'll hear what I'm saying and understand that you will always be a part of me. I can't find the words to convey the grief I feel knowing that I won't ever be able to look at you and tell you the things I should have said more than fifty years ago.

With Love,
John
