I enjoyed working with Sharon for several years at Centel. We celebrated our milestone birthdays (exactly 25 years apart) after work at Julios with lots of laughter!! She was kind, quiet woman who loved her family fiercely. After Centel, I enjoyed seeing Sharon in the Belmont neighborhood. Sharon, you will be missed.
