Sadly, despite a tremendously brave fight and iron will and determination, our beloved Sharon passed away on Wednesday evening. Many prayers had been said for her recovery, but it seems God in his wisdom decided her poor body had had enough, and Heaven needed a new angel.
I loved Sharon as a sister, even though we had never met. Ironically I was planning to fly out next month, and visit her with Mary Rickson, but it was not to be. My heart is full of tears, but also full of wonderful memories. She will never be forgotten, and her wit, wisdom and love will live on forever in her books.
