Dear Adam and Dan....I promised your Mom that I would 'check in' on you once in a while. Sharon was a bright and giant force of energy,will,knowledge,fight and presence. She was tough,caring and really loved "her boys". She was very proud of you. Take care of yourselves well. Our group will miss her forever. Blessings and love to both of you from all of us at Wellness Place. We hope you'll keep in touch

Adam and Dan,



I am very sorry for your loss. While it has been quite some time since I last spoke with your mother, she was truly a unique and especially energetic person. There were few people in the world that shared her vibe for life.

Dan and Adam; Sorry for the loss of your mother. I have fond memories of her in growing up with you guys. Having lost my father earlier this year, I know it's a difficult time. In her passing, hopefully it's time that brings your family closer together.



Take care guys.

My sincere condolences to Danny and Adam and to the family of Sharon Long. Sharon and I were neighbors in Hoffman Estates for at least eighteen years. Our children were babies, young children and teens together. The loss of a mother is very sad as I have just lost mine. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
