I didn't know this wonderful woman, but her daughter Jennifer is so loving and kind. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Godspeed. Prayers for the family.

Sharon was a valued friend from High School until now - with a understated sense of humor, a calm demeanor, a great supporter of her family, and such a caring heart. She will be missed.
