I met this precious lady in 2006 when my husband represented the 7th in the house of delegates. We found we had a lot in common. My maiden name was Maxwell, Woodys mother was a Kelley and I use to show horses, she liked western boots. I gave her all my show boots and she seemed to love them. RIP

Sharon, you will be greatly missed. Our special dinners, grandkids special occasions, birthdays, soccer games and just talking to you.
You were always willing to help wherever needed. You always volunteered to take me to Dr appointments, if needed, to help with my Mom when she was alive. She loved you as Herb and I did. Enjoy your new life with Jesus and those gone before you.
