I am so terribly saddened to hear this. I feel like I lost a family member. I loved Sharon's stories so much. Along with gardening, a big hobby of mine is genealogy. My father is from West Virginia and my family moved from Virginia to Eastern Kentucky during the Civil War so I was pretty familiar with the areas Sharon wrote about. I liked to imagine the stories she told about Aunt Bett were stories that might have been handed down in my family. I liked to think about my ancestors using the same plants and herbal remedies that Sharon wrote about. I think we all learned so much from her and knowing that voice has been extinguished has me in tears. I will miss her so much, but I'm sure one day we will meet in that big garden in the sky.
