So sorry to hear of Sharon’s passing. Such a beautiful spirit she had, so loving & caring. And such a fighter. With all she had been through, her smile always appeared even though she may not have felt like smiling. She will be greatly missed by all that knew her. A big hug to you all. May you find comfort in the memories.
