Pam, I am so very sorry to hear of your mom's passing. Sharon was an amazing and special lady. I remember her training me way back at Kinsel's. Boy did we have a good time. Later in life we got to know each other on a different level. She was always such a sweet soul and had a heart of gold. She will truly be missed by all that were blessed to have the honor to know her. I will continue to pray for you and your sweet family during this difficult time. Heaven definitely gained a very special Angel. Love Always, Monika
