Grandma Sharon

My mother-in-law Sharon recently retired from nursing after almost 25 years. She had this career while being a single mother of three and a grandma of eight. In all the time I have known her, I have never heard her say that she was too busy to help others, especially her family. She was the Relief Society president, then spent weekends tending to her ailing mother until she died, and can be seen currently as my interior decorator/babysitter/road rash bandager/house organizer. Sharon doesn't think she has many talents, but they don't have talent shows for multi-tasking, and cooking, and managing a household, and re-covering chairs, and painting, or else she would have a room full of trophies for those talents. If you know Sharon, you know the words to the song "Because You Loved Me" are spot on for her. (If this song is not playing, scroll down to the Playlist and select it.) We love you, Grandma Sharon. Thanks for everything you do!
