So sorry to hear of Sharon's passing.  She was a nice girl.  Even though she was a year ahead of me in school, we did have one class together.  Biology.  Since we were seated alphabetically, we were next to each other at the same table.  She was very smart and very funny.  I enjoyed getting to know her better that year.  May she rest in peace.

Sharon was a fun girl.  Always had a good time when she was around.  My sympathy to her sons and her sister, Shirley.
