I had the pleasure of meeting Sharron when I worked with a nursing agency and was assigned to her. Come to find out, she was a friend of my husband’s Aunt and Uncle. We had many great days reminiscing and even a luncheon with them to catch up on the ” olden days”. She was always a pleasure and I enjoyed our time together. My sympathy to her family.
