Dear Howard, We are so sad to hear that you lost Sharon earlier this year. She was such a wonderful friend. We treasure the memories of being in LongBoat Key with you both. We had so much fun and many laughs in Florida and getting together in Illinois. Her bright smile, infectious laugh and warm personality lit up the room. We will be thinking of you and your family in this difficult time. Love, Dennis and Pat
