There are so many stories and memories I have about Sharon I would be writing forever. Sharon and I were so much alike, we grew up 3 houses from each other and stayed best friends for 25 years. 7th grade sticks out for me, we had all the same classes and were dubbed "the Bobbsey Twins" we got in so much trouble that year it was so much fun! My partner in crime. We went on endless vacations together, and could always count on her to do all the reservations and take care of everything. Some of my favorite vacations were with her. She always had so much spunk and would tell you like it is. I knew if I ever needed to know the truth about anything at all she would tell me. We went through some hard times together and were always there for each other. When one of us were down the other was right there to pick us up. She was the first one to volunteer to help me when I had my foot surgery. She stayed with me and helped me through it all, and kept me sane while I was out of work for 8 weeks. Even kept me from gaining weight while being laid up. We went through so many boyfriends together and would let the other know what exactly we thought about them! (She had quite a few winners) When my dad died she knew exactly what to do and how to make things better. She was one of the few people who understood what I was going through, and did the same for my whole family. When I think about Sharon it makes me sad that I will never see her or hear that contagious, deep, strong laugh that came from her toes. But it also makes me happy that I had someone like her in my life and could call my best friend for so many years. I'm a better person for having known her and growing up with her. And Donna you should take great pride in knowing that you brought up such a wonderful and caring person... She was so beautiful and full of life, she tried so hard to not let things get her down. I love and miss you so much Sharon Marie Gath not a minute goes by that I don't think about you.
