friend, she is no fake. She is my mother, my best friend in the whole 
world! I love you Mama!" Furthermore, Sharon wanted to share a special poem 
about her mother, Walk With Me, Mama. "Walk alongside me, Mama, And hold my 
little hand. I have so many things to learn That I don't yet understand. 
Teach me things to keep me safe From the dangers everyday. Show me how to 
do my best, At home, at school, at play. Every child needs a gentle hand To 
guide them as they grow. So walk alongside me, Mama." Sharon is survived by

and Donald; half-brother, Steve. Preceding her in death were her father,
