I only met Sharon twice. How I would have loved to have known her better. But we, as a family, feel we know both Sharon and Graham through their son Mark. We are truly blessed. As we are also by their example of mutual devotion. Dear Sharon. I did not get to follow up on your warm invitation, but in my heart I came over long ago. And I deeply appreciate the care and warmth you showed my little girl within a life that involved care for so many. Enjoy your well-earned rest. And dear Graham, my sincere condolences on your loss and with great respect for how you rose to the challenge of the the caring role. And to you both, my admiration for how your family perfectly followed the words "join, gather and unite."

Our deepest sympathy to you all.Sharon was an incredible lady who was very much admired by us. She was a special, genuine, and caring human. We were privileged to have known her personally and through our work over the years. She will be very much missed.
