Sorry about your mother’s passing
Sweet, adorable Sharon Brown, what a honey!!! Have known Sharon for over 60 years. I close my eyes and see her coming up MelloParkway in her white shorts, cute little wiggle, hoping to catch a certain cute as ever someones eye. She became Family,
loved my Mom and always showed up.
Now she will show up in Heaven, and
dazzle as only Sharon could.
Precious memories to hold in my heart till
we meet again.
May the Choir of Angels come and greet you and take you to Paradise🙏💖🙏
Such as wonderful, sweet person. Always will remember how kind Sharon was to my Mom and Dad and the whole extended Faris family and to everyone that had the pleasure to meet her. Always smiling and happy. The world needs more people like Sharon.
Our sincere condolences, Dick, Alicia and Richard.
Love, Joe and Mary Faris

Sharon was a wonderful friend and neighbor. I have such warm memories of our times together on Sandra Lane when our kids were growing up. Not only was she the best hairdresser I ever had, she also helped me find some very chic outfits when I got into politics. On the night of my election as she was making my hair and makeup look just perfect, I’ll never forget her saying, “When you get to the White House, you’re taking me with you.” I loved her and the world is a lonelier place without her. Alicia, Richard and Dick, Bob and I are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Donna Cuomo
Dick, Richard and Alicia I am very sorry for your loss. I was always a big fan of your Mom.

My Sister, my Twin & my Best Friend. Unless you’re a twin it’s very hard to explain the special bond Sharon & I had. We were always each other’s best friend! It’s funny because we were so different-almost opposites. Maybe that’s why we were so close-we complemented & accepted each others differences. One of many fond memories was after we both married, we’d get our kids in bed & then call each other almost every night. We both looked forward to those late night conversations. (Usually 10 or 11pm-one thing we had in common we were both night owls!). Sharon was as beautiful on the outside as she was on the inside. She could walk in a room & heads would turn. I didn’t realize how hard it would be to say goodbye but I know it’s just temporary. I look forward to the time we’ll see each other again & be able to catch up right where we left off! Until then I’m so thankful to have so many special & yes lots of funny memories we shared & I will cherish! I love you, I’ll miss you but I have the hope we will see each other again! Till then…Love San❤️❤️❤️
You were like a sister to her and she loved you too! We had so much fun all of us together!
