Aunt Sharlene, you will be so missed! You were such a beautiful soul, a beautiful woman, someone I knew would always be on my side. You never had a mean word to say and you were just the most loving, caring, and stylish woman I’ve ever known! I didn’t get to spend much time with you as an adult but I have so many wonderful memories of you as a child. Rest in peace beautiful lady, I love you!
