I miss Sharon. The little time we had to know each other was precious. She was a very hospital person. My son and I spent time with Sharon at her home in Colorado. We talked about her brother (my Dad), Mgst. William G. Farmer, K.I.A., Korea 01 Sept 1950. She also missed him very much. I believe the discussion we had of my father was the bond between Sharon and myself...never to be broken.
