I will miss her dearly, we have been best friends since kindergarten, I am having a hard time realizing she is gone. Even though we did not see eachother often after we left school, she always acted as if nothing had or ever would change between us. I will miss her dearly, and she will always have a special place in my heart. alta lee spansih fork Ut.

We will never forget Sharon. What a fun loving person with a wonderful personality. What a great time we had listening to her yell and scream at a Jazz game a few years ago! Such a wonderful gal!

I will miss Sharon very much. I enjoyed her as a neighbor and a visiting teacher. She was a real inspiration. Not only did she care for many people in our community but she also had a very soft spot for helping the homeless cats in our neighborhood. She will always be remembered.
