I knew Sharon in high school and we’re good friends. Sad to hear of her passing. RIP.
My heart goes out to you Gerry. Sharon was a beautiful Godly Lady. Always willing to love and serve her Lord in whatever He asked Her to do. She lived a rich life in the things that truly matter. That is how I will always remember her. Peace and Prayers🙏🏻
