“I just found out today that Mrs. Sharp passed away. My heartfelt sympathies to her children and grandchildren. She was the epitome of southern charm and elegance. I was very touched that she attended my surprise retirement party (6/2021). I wish I could have spent more time talking with her that day. Prayers for all of you learning to live the “new normal” — remembering her with such fondness. Sue Wood”
