Probably noone has ever heard of me, but Sharon and I were best friends in grade 4, when we were living in Forest Glen. We lived quite close to each other and I used to visit and stay for sleepovers. Her family was delightful and her parents were lovely people..very British. I used to love spending time at their house, especially since my parents had just split up which was rare in those days. My father was a pediatric cardiologist, east Indian from Guyana, and my mother was from Halifax, in case she ever mentioned me..I remember when they fostered Timothy (he was just a newborn), and then later adopted him We kept in touch when they moved to Chicago and then they moved back to Mississauga a few years later and we visited a few times..then I recall they went to Lethbridge and we lost touch. I didn't know that she ended up in Winnipeg..My mother remarked and ended up there and I spent a few years there also and married an Irish Doctor in 1985 and we moved back to Ontario. I wish I had known she was there..she had a lovely spirit and was such a warm and friendly soul. I'm so sorry she left you all so early. All the best to her husband and children. I wish I could have known you.XOXO - Posted by: Deborah Singh (Best friend in grade 4) on: May 12, 2023

Words cannot describe how much I miss Sharon. She was a great friend. We spent so much time together running the canteen at SJF with our boys playing hockey and weekly outings. Dean you were her rock right until the end, your caring and compassion while she was in the hospital I will never forget. Forever my heart always in my thoughts you will never be forgotten my friend.
