Many years ago, Sharon was like a big sister to me. She helped guide me through my teenage years and was always so good to me. Our lives parted ways, but she continued to hold a special place in my heart, and I admired her accomplishments as a chef. To all of her family, I offer my heartfelt condolences.
Our deepest sympathy for the family and friends of Sharon. As her neighbor she was always willing to help and was there for us to lend a helping hand. We have so many great memories. We love you Sharon, RIP sweet lady.
