Everything written above in the article and the comments embodies the woman I knew for 65 years. Yes, Sharon and I met in fourth grade at the age of ten. I will say that looking back now it is easy to see the foundations of the woman she would become. Such beautiful tributes indeed describe things that I didn't know about Sharon, but always felt were true of her. Words, which Sharon crafted so well, cannot express the joy of knowing her and the pain of losing her now.
