Sharon, and David will always hold a special place in my heart. They were such a lovely couple, who seemed inseparable. I so admired that.
My mom and I first met the Ellington's and their 2 very well-behaved Sons in 1981. Shortly afterwards, we met Sharon's Dad and Mom. Years and years later came Kurt and little precious Ryan.
Being around David and Sharon honestly was an enhancement to my life. Sharon was a brilliant woman, full of life and immaculate style. She loved her family and her friends ! You will be greatly missed❤
