We would 'talk' way into the night.
Recent friends but already good friends.

I knew she was having these " spells "
And then, Sharon went silent.....

When she finally got in touch she got a real kick out of my confessing that I knew she was still up and running because I searched the obituaries.

I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others.
~~ Sharon Brown ~~

Ain't that the truth!
As evidenced by all of us, here, now, still missing her!
Granted she had a lot to offer, and, yet, the way in which she loved and lived...

"Where the time of our lives is all we have
And we get a chance to say
Before we ease away
For all the love you've left behind
You can have mine"

It was a rough time for me--lost Sharon, my mother, and my dog all in less than a year--drivin' down the road, heard that song for the first time and had to cry. What a gift they all gave so freely; so fortunate to be on the receiving end!

I don't know if I've shared these before...my last pics from Shar....
We were getting ready to move north and having a moving sale....I'd sent her pics of our sale set-up and there were several racks of hanging clothing, etc. In amongst the clothes was one of my all time favorite things, letting it go bacause I knew in my 'new' life I would never wear it again. In the pic, you could just barely see something pink in that picture...lol..but she spotted it, said, "What is that? I want that...."....so it went on to its new life with Shar, and it was even more dramatic on her, she was such a tiny thing that it draped even lower on her. She sent me the pics to show me the pink dress she made to go with the long, silky vest and fringed shawl cape...she wore this to one of the rehearsal dinners for Ashley's wedding. Such a creative lady...in her teaching, her art, her gardening, her sewing, her writing.....everything about her is sorely missed each and every day....

Beautiful outfit on a lovely lady! Even though I only knew her from Cubits and NGA, I still miss her:) Every once in a while, I will go back to Sharon's profile to re-read one of her stories. Her writing and art were as beautiful as she was Group hug

Sherry,
Thanks so much for a beautiful reminder. I had so much interest in her stories and other writings that I still have many bookmarked to this day.

Here we are, almost four years from losing Sharon, and I have
read through all these tributes again and shed more tears. Sharon
left a hole in my heart that will never heal. RIP, dear friend. You are
not forgotten.
