Your quick wit, your amazing imagination, the way you giggle, the love you gave, how you made me laugh, teased me back quicker then I could think of a comeback, you supported me when I needed it, you never complained, you have a wonderful innocence, but a wealth of knowledge, you are inspirational, you are gentle and kind, just to mention a few things. And I know that you are probably chuckling, embarrassed by now and saying, naw, right back to me. But, I have to tell you sweetie, it's all true. I loved being a Golden Girl, I loved to talk and spend time with you. So I am gonna continue to do it. You may not be able to answer me dear friend, but I will never forget you as long as I live. Lyn and I just missed you, but you were there in your room, waiting for us. We felt you there Sharon and we will keep you in our hearts. Until we meet again we'll settle for that... to The Golden Girls forever!!!Mary Ricksenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12676306822821614446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5151203768395758839.post-22015588410238871482012-04-16T03:57:24.676-07:002012-04-16T03:57:24.676-07:00Ginger, and WW - thank you for adding to the tribu...Ginger, and WW - thank you for adding to the tributes to Sharon, she had a way of making all her friends feel so special, and each one was, I know, very special to ehr.<br /><br />Mary dear friend, you've summarised it perfectly.

Sadness for me because, even though I never met her in person, she had the warmth and kindness that easily passed over the Internet and made me feel included and welcome wherever she was. May she finally be at peace, painfree, and enjoy never having to battle the stress and discomfort that only we here in this life must face. R.I.P dear, Sharon, you will be sorely missed and oft remembered.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09683064637626718318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5151203768395758839.post-59395849748502919802012-04-15T01:05:40.604-07:002012-04-15T01:05:40.604-07:00By the way Julie, I know what the Lasting Rose mea...By the way Julie, I know what the Lasting Rose meant to Sharon, she had one herself and loved it, although she said hers was a 'scrawny little thing' but it flowered the day she came out of hospital after her first operation.'Lasting Love'is such a beautiful story too. <br /><br />How lovely that you have the rose bush that inspired her - a beautiful memorial.Hywela Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789711554354184386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5151203768395758839.post-78068776920200820472012-04-15T01:02:25.615-07:002012-04-15T01:02:25.615-07:00Thank you for your kind words for Sharon, Sky, and...Thank you for your kind words for Sharon, Sky, and your thoughtful concern for me.

Since then, we shared secrets, our joys, pain, and sorrows. <br /><br />I still have most of the emails she sent to me. We cried on each other's shoulders and also shared the wonderful times. <br /><br />I was just thinking about her last night and was going to mail her another card. Then I found the sad email this morning. <br /><br />It seems surreal, but I'll have to accept it. <br /><br />I know Sharon's in good hands now. <br /><br />Hugs,<br />LaurieLaurean Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06242693739806417138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5151203768395758839.post-59389793856230798592012-04-13T18:58:30.771-07:002012-04-13T18:58:30.771-07:00BTW, I had won the rose bush, Lasting Love, after ...BTW, I had won the rose bush, Lasting Love, after which her book is named.

Though I'd never met her, I felt close to her, had even gotten her a pirate's mask when I was in New Orleans. She had a personable personality and I will miss her.<br />JulieJulie Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242380140265459688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5151203768395758839.post-68105640612812747252012-04-13T12:58:42.181-07:002012-04-13T12:58:42.181-07:00Oh my God, Lyn.
