Just found out that Sharon passed in January. We are friends from the DIVCO milk truck club. We have kept in touch with Sharon and Oliver since getting to know them through the club. I sent her an email last week. She had always responded within a few hours. I searched for her and found her obituary. Sharon and Oliver were special people to us. We will miss them both, for sure. Please accept our sincere condolences. George and Barb Parmelee, Bethlehem, CT
