    Howard, I am sorry for your loss. It has been years since I saw your mom. I do remember a wonderful woman who brought to my attention the care and love of foster children. I thought she was right up there with my dad when it came to loving kids and those kids belonged regardless of what a piece of paper said. She will be missed.

    I spent a lot of time with Sharon. She was my boss for 17 years. I got to see many sides of her. Especially when we got to keep the grand babies when they were sick. my heart goes out to the family.. She really enjoyed being a mom and grandma

    I am sad that my friend is gone. I had hoped her family would have her longer. We originally met when she worked at Clay County and we became friends. We visited about everything and offered each other support. I will dearly miss her. She was a warm wonderful person. My prayers go out to all of her family.
