From Michael Wilson

Much like Camarah already stated. I, too, was enamored the first time I laid eyes on Sharon. Her soul and beauty were just breathtaking every time you would lay your eyes upon her. I knew in 5th grade I wanted to be her boyfriend. How could one accomplish such a task, I pondered. I'm sure I chased her around Cole School during our breaks and recesses, celebrating my wins over Camarah in races, and relays :-) . I believe I won Newsweek Citizen of the Year award and looked to her for recognition. Nothing. As Jason Gell screamed and cried, "I didn't deserve it"! It wasn't until 6th grade when my plan to grab this amazing woman came into fruition. I became best friends with her brother. I would spend countless days over the Gath's house in hope that Sharon would see me! When Mike found out he put it simply, "this is my hammer, it will gladly meet your face."  All in good fun, till this day he is my brother. From 6th grade on I was a part of the Gath's, sometimes against Donna's wishes ;-) , and though I never got to date Sharon I was blessed to have her in and around my life and those she brought with her. My heart sinks with all of you and rises with all of you at the thought of Sharon and what an amazing and beautiful woman she was.
