On July 2nd, 2009, after a seven-year struggle with breast cancer, Sharron passed away peacefully in her sleep, with her husband Nelson by her side and her family nearby. We remember fondly her love of art and craft, her knitting, her beading, her lacework, her entrepreneurial spirit and her love of off-the-beaten-path boutiques. We remember her appreciation for gourmet food and a nice glass of red wine. We remember her interest in different cultures and her passion for travel. We remember how she cared about the world around her with her commitment to recycling, buying organic and driving her Prius. Most of all, we remember her mothering spirit – how she endeavored to help others by contributing to charities, and how she embraced everyone she knew with warmth and generosity. Please raise your glass and join us in a toast to the wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and friend she was. We can only hope and aspire to multiply the love and nurturing that she showered on us all.
We will be holding two celebration of life events for Sharron, one in California on September 26th and one in Oregon on October 10th. More details will follow.
Sharron's greatest wish is for people to spend time with their loved ones. In place of remembrances do something special with the ones you love. Then share your story with us by sending us a note or
