I am so saddened that Sharon has left us but I am so thankful for having known and loved her. My memories of the years she, Debbie and I spent in our youth are so precious and loving. I know how much she loved her family and friends and no one could have had a better friend than she. I am so sorry I am not going to be able to make it tonight.
