It is with much sadness that I learned of Sharon's passing. I was a dear friend from high school, who over the years lost track of her. I often thought of her and what she was up to, but never forgot the good times we had when we were young. I can still see her red hair and her loving smile. She will always be in my heart. I send my condolences to Art and her family. They will be in my prayers at this most difficult time.

I am deeply saddened at the loss of my longest, dearest, best friend in the world.

Sharon and I went to grade school together and had our babies together. I will miss her more than I can ever say.

My heart goes out to her loving family. Sharon was a loving human being and will be missed by everyone who knew her.

I am happy to say I loved her like a sister.
