Marc, Lisa. Michael and families,

I was very sorry to hear of your mom's death. Though it has been many years since we last met, I remember her humor, her strength, and her quiet resolve. I'm sure she fought the good fight. I pray that you are finding comfort in your friends, your family and your faith.

To Sharon's family

I came to know Sharon through Julius Lucius Echeles, my paternal uncle. I know he thought very highly of Sharon and I came to know first-hand how caring and thoughtful she was--she went to great lengths to take care of people. She will be missed by all, including me.

Our hearts go out to Sharon's family and friends. I am a sister of Sharon's dear friend Donna Halstead. Through Donna I had the pleasure of Sharon's company on several occasions. She was a joy to be with, and I feel blessed to have had her as a part of my life. We pray the passing of time will help to heal some of the pain of losing Sharon.

My heartfelt condolences to the family.



Sharon was my surrogate "Jewish Mother/Big Sister." As a lawyer, she cared too much for her clients, and specialized in hopeless cases. She never trivialized their problems and always respected their humanity.



I owe a lot to Sharon, and miss her presence. Sharon is singlehandedly responsible for my becoming computer-literate. She was a great supporter of my music career; she attended "gigs" and sponsored the fabled "Kramer Keyboard" that was my first portable electric keyboard.



I will miss editing legal documents for her. And I will miss the annual gefilte fish care package. And most of all I will miss making her laugh.



Much love to the family from CJ.
