To a lady that was like a mom of over 40 years. The times of sitting at her home, her travels to my wedding in Phoenix, and sitting on the beach with her and her family feeling like family. She was a caring, loving, always smiling beautiful person. Thanks for the smiles and love. You will remain in my heart until we meet again. Love you Mom❤❤

I was shocked to see the news of Sharon's passing after our we had talked together on Wednesday about my Mom's death. Seems like my Mom went a few days earlier so she and my Dad could be there together to welcome their dear friend to glory. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, John, and with your whole family. What a wonderful friendship our parents shared!
