My first memory of Sharon is from 5th grade. We had the same homeroom teacher. Her, Faith and I made a trio. We stayed good friends thru High school. We of course drifted as we all tend to do as we grow up and make our way in the world. We always had a good laugh when we reconnected. A big part of my growing up years included this special person and I am thankful she was part of it. It is ashame we lost her so young.

Thought Id share a recent line Sharon had written to me.  (above)    Way to fight Sharon. I'll always remember your friendship, the good times, your wit, your strong will, your positive influence.  You are free now, and happy.  We sure will miss you here. . See you in eternity!

I was just telling my fourteen year old daughter about Sharon on Saturday, having no idea that she had passed away.  We were looking at a framed cross-stitch sampler that hangs in my home. Sharon made it for my wedding 32 years ago.  It says " To Love and Be Loved is the Greatest Joy on Earth."  I know that Sharon experienced the greatest joy on earth.

Sweet, beautiful Sharon (you looked like a China Doll).

 

I will always remember you in that pink dress and beautiful smile you wore so well at the reunion.

 

May God wrap his loving arms around your family for comfort at this difficult time.

 

Rest now in Jesus arms Sweet Sharon.

 When Tina called me with the news of Sharon I was so shocked because I thought she was in remission.  I took the news very hard.  I had no idea she passed on my birthday.  How fitting.  She, Tina and myself did make a very tight threesome!  I will always remember her beautiful skin, her infamous intelligence and how neither of us could ever get away with anything in school since both our Mom's worked for the school.  She was so respected by all of us girls.  I saw her in Columbus about 14 years ago.  She looked exactly the same.  She seemed so very happy and we promised to get together for lunch one day.  All this time has passed and now so has she.  She influenced my life greatly and I will miss her.
