I am deeply sorry for the loss of Sharon especially Bev, Larry, Mary, Amy, Jeff and everyone who’s life Sharon has touched including mine. I will always cherish the memories of the summers Amy and I spent together in NYC with Aunt Sharon and Uncle Charlie. From shopping to broadway shows and being exposed to new culinary experiences as teenagers-raw squid soup 🤢 Sharon was a wonderful person that people loved to be around as her niece Amy discussed with me after her passing that she was always interested and interesting to be around. I will always remember her put together and stylish ways reminding us to always use moisturizer! Her laugh I will miss her smile and laugh. All of my love.
