Sharon was one of the loveliest people I was blessed to have known. We had so many wonderful moments in my antique shop in Burlington. She bought paintings and various antiques from me for many years. She displayed these in her immaculately kept home. I always treasured her visits!
Sharon was the real treasure and will be sadly missed. God bless her family!
