As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

It's been at least 51 years since Sharon and I lived in the same neighborhood. The Holts lived in Apt. 3C and the Anderson lived in Apt. 6B in Brookview public housing. Poor and not know it, and yet incredibly rich with great possibilities. Sharon had a sense of Airness or personal mien. She had confidence she was going places and that she was special, regardless of what anyone else thoughts about her. She was only one year older than I and yet she was years ahead of most of us. I'm thankful for our childhood days together and her parents she has joined in eternity. God's blessings upon her memories and God's blessing upon her remaining family.
