Sharon and I had the same birthday! I was her classmate at NHS in Nevada, Missouri, and I recall her as a very pleasant young lady who was rather quiet. Her brother Bob and I attend the same church now here in Nevada. (I was born here - never got very far!) God's blessings on all of the family.

Sharon was a very special person. I was lucky to have known her and my children were blessed to call her Nana. She will be dearly missed by many.
