I always loved visiting with Sharon at various Reader Conferences i was blessed to attend when she was there. Her quick smile and sense of humor made her a person I sought out. She loved books, the stories within and the friends she made who shared her enthusiasm. As an author, Sharon was the type of reader who encouraged me. Knowing she’d read my books and share her opinions- honestly about them was such a wonderful thing. I will miss her… and certainly will think of her at the next conference I attend- wishing she was there.
RIP Sharon.
