I grew up with David and Doug on the same street. Sharon was always the wonderful mom making sure we were always having a great time. She was very warm, friendly, inviting, and vivacious. Very sad to hear she has passed, she will be missed.

Sharon will be truly missed – she was my friend, co-worker and the most generous, self-less person I know. She threw both of my baby showers for my kids (now 16 and 19). I loved her dearly.
