    I was so saddened to hear of Sharon's passing. We were good friends in our youth but had been out of touch for many years. We recently reconnected and had a wonderful visit over the phone a few weeks ago. I have many fond memories of sleep overs at both our homes. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

    Richard I am so very sorry to hear this sad news. We haven't seen each other since we were small children eating lobsters on the Mira or camping out in Iona, or playing in our yards in Coxheath and Harold Street. Those memories and a biding affection for the Wells still remain.. I hope your children and grandchildren can surround you with love and good memories to carry you through this hard journey in life and may you have some peace knowing Sharon suffers no more. Love Trish and Arlene
