Old  friend and classmate, Sharon White Pyke, died unexpectedly Saturday AM.  No history of illness or even of feeling badly, according to friends and family.  Coming so close on heels of Dad's death, it has set me back a bit on my road to recovery.  Teary and depressed, to say the least.  Mary Karen Miltenberger Hall called me last evening to make sure I knew about it.  She can't make it to viewing, but will be a funeral.  I can't take a funeral so I had to go to the viewing.  Did not recognized a single person there even tho' there were lots of folks.  Considering that Sharon and her husband fostered 80 kids, it was not surprising. 

Rest in peace, Sharon.  You did a fantastic job as a mom and foster mom, which says a lot about the woman you were.
