This video is in loving memory of Cami’s best friend, Sharon…and dedicated to her husband, my best friend, Nick.

Sharon was the kindest, gentlest, most loving person you could ever meet. She was born with a heart defect that she’s had to deal with all her life. Doctors didn’t expect her to make it out of her teens. So in a way, she was a living miracle. And I believe THAT knowledge made her value the GIFT OF LIFE even more than most of us could ever understand. Maybe that’s why she had the ability to make you smile with one look, make you laugh with a single word, and make you warm inside with a single hug. Sharon was the greatest Ambassador for love. She not only expressed her compassion towards others, but also extended it towards animals. She loved “all creatures great and small”.

When God called Sharon to be with Him on Sunday, January 13th, it left all of us with an emptiness for our loss. Even though her heart was physically weak, we know it was spiritually strong. And we are comforted in knowing that, as Matthew so eloquently proclaims, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.”
