I want to express my condolences for the loss of Sharon. My sister, Joan and I met Sharon in the '60s. We went to elementary school together. Joan and Sharon did things together, and Sharon would come to our home. In later years Sharon kept in phone contact with Joan. After Joan's death, Sharon called me on the phone. Our last phone visit was on December 26, 2022. I really admired Sharon. She dealt with some major issues, and was always interested in everything that went on around her. Again, my condolences.dacaldbeck@yahoo.com

I was very sorry to hear of Sharons passing. Back in the early 90s Sharon came to work at WHO-tv and I had the pleasure of getting to know her. She loved to tell a joke and had a wonderful smile.
