• Sharon, it was an honor to know you for the past 30 years, we started out as co-workers at Public Press and that blossoming into friendship. Will cherish our friendship and memories, from working together, our coffee parties with the girls, having sleep over on Halloween nights, you were always supportive when life gave that curve ball, Sharon you will be sadly missed. - Posted by: Barb Szabo (Friend) on: Aug 21, 2016

• I remember Sharon. I remember preparing and eating perogies, farmer sausage and borscht when we worked the overnight shifts at the old Klinic on Broadway. I remember Mel Gibson bed sheets, Mel Gibson movies, and more Mel Gibson! I remember witch hats and bunny slippers, I remember smuggling sardines, pickled herring and canned moose into the hospital when our friend Tracy was sick. I remember singing Madonna and Bruce Springstein songs at the top of our lungs in the middle of street. I remember Sharon loudly yelling at me, in public, because I forgot to do the "coke run" for girls' night in...and the reaction of everybody in the bank! LOL! I remember Fat Benson's Guinness book of World Records weigh-ins...and how he thought he was a lap cat. I remember all the times we almost peed ourselves laughing while we made our witchy brews in plastic milk jugs. I remember how mortified (and WARM) Sharon was when she had to wear my fur coat to the hospital (it was 50 below F, in Wpg.) I remember going through grocery flyers, cutting out pictures of fish, making creepy, googly eyed xmas ornaments. I remember pigging out at our favourite Carribean Roti joint in the Maples. I remember taking evening courses together, at our favourite Florist shop so we could learn to make non-conventional centre peices for gifts. I remember staying up all night, taking turns making pots of coffee, and doing endless treatment summary reports. I remember our differences - Sharon loved football and hockey. That was a very good thing because her birthday always coincided with Grey Cup parties! I remember arguing over books - who read what first and why. Sharon loved Ann Rule! I remember how she hated watching movies with me because I always told her the ending five minutes in...she duct taped my mouth once but that was after 20 minutes of wrestling....Sharon was much taller and bigger than me - and, it was hard to fight while laughing with mouthfuls of chips or popcorn. I remember her ugly animal sweatshirts. Sharon supported animal rights and donated time and money to the SPCA, I ate wild meat. I remember sitting on the front steps in front of our office howling at the moon and trying to sing "Not even a Hallmark Card" in two part harmony. My friend Sharon had a difficult life, but she was a survivor who gave back. Sharon loved and cared and gave all of her energy and time to healing vulnerable women and making the lives of people with special needs, better. She believed! It's is so hard for me to accept that such an amazing woman was killed and died in a parking lot. I love you Sharon and I will miss you forever! - Posted by: Renee LaFortune (Sharon & I were best friends for years. We worked together at Klinic (the old Klinic on Broadway) a) on: Aug 20, 2016

• My deepest condolonces to Sharon's family for their terrible loss. I was one of Sharon's coworker and I met her 3 years ago. She had a great laugh and was very caring to the staff. I'm sorry I can't attend her celebration of life service today as I'm unavailble to travel at this moment due to a work injury. But I'm with her in spirit. I will treasure the good memories we share. God bless her family and friends. And to you dear Sharon may you rest in peace and spread your wings and fly free. God Bless Love Karen P - Posted by: Karen (Coworker) on: Aug 20, 2016
