Again I want to extend my condolences. Sharon was able to remind me of the reason I chose my profession every day I saw her. She always wanted to share stories and remain involved in as much as she could. I will miss her not only as a patient but as a friend.

Sharon was a good friend. I loved her sense of humor and we shared a lot of laughs. I'll always be grateful to her for driving me to highschool in her Ford called "Harry." Please except my sympathy for your loss.

I had so much fun with Ms Sharon at the Eye Clinic... she laughed with me, made me laugh, shared recipes with me, gave great advice and she was a wonderful woman who always thought of others. she shared her smile with all her patients and truely put their needs first. I dont think I ever heard her complain about her own health. She always said "theres always someone hurting more than me". She wasnt someone who would compromise right for wrong. What a wonderful woman of great integrity. Candice Mathew
