Our deepest sympathies on the loss of Sharon. We loved coming to her house for holidays & joked about her cooking for 100 people when maybe she only needed to cook for 20. HA With my recent retirement, she & I chatted on the phone often. I loved her 'spit fire attitude' - just like her sisters! Hoping you find comfort in your memories of her & knowing she's now with her siblings & Leonard!
