So sorry for your loss. I only met Sharon when you came to Shelby to listen to Jack sing and play. Your family are in my prayers.
I and Sharon go way back to the days of country school, we had a playhouses in the basement of our school. We brought our dolls to school on Monday and they stayed at school all week during recess the boys played outside and the girls went to the basement to play with our dolls.. Such wonderful memories of our youth.
My sympathy and love to the family in your loss. Sherry and I were close friends all through country school and during our four years at Malvern high school. A wonderful friend!
