On February 11, 2023, we went to the movies to see "80 for Brady." Afterwards, we went to eat at Panda Express to celebrate Sharon's birthday. She loved to eat there!

***By the way, since Sean was in my first and second grade classes, I have lots of cute photos of him in my albums, if you're ever interested.

Thank you, guys, for texting and calling me. I was able to see your mom once at St. Mary's and three times at the board and care home. She was only awake on the day she moved there from the hospital. She didn't talk to me, but she nodded when I asked her questions.  She nodded "yes" when I asked her if she recognized me.(My mom asks me who I am all the time...) I read a sci-fi romance book to Sharon while she slept. Hopefully, she was comforted by my voice.

I plan to be there on the 4th. My mom is 93, so I never know for sure what might happen...

Let me know if you need help packing things to go to the Goodwill or Salvation Army  etc.

Please share the story and photos with Patrick, Shannon, the family, the memorial website, etc. as you wish.

In 2009, I told Sharon that I was going to Morocco in December. She decided that she would like to go, too. We flew out of LAX on 12-19-09. We had bad weather, so we arrived late in Paris for our connection to Casablanca! We missed it and had to wait 8 hours in the airport lobby to catch another flight! Not great! We were so late that there was no one to pick us up and take us to our hotel! Sharon didn't want to take a taxi, but there was no other choice! Fortunately, I speak French and so did our driver. Yay, we got there safe and sound and got to sleep a few hours before breakfast and boarding the bus. Onward--touring Casablanca, Fez, Erfoud, Ouarzazate, Marrakech, and everything in between back to Casablanca. We saw bellydancing, mausoleums, and mosques. We went carpet shopping and went to a tannery. We went to a leather shop and walked down skinny little alleys to see lots of shops. Sharon bought a blue scarf and I bought a long robe. We got to go inside some cave dwellings, even our guide's own home! We rode camels on the desert and slid down a sand dune on a blanket! Sharon loved riding the camels! On Dec. 25 (Christmas), we left Ouarzazate, the film capital of Morocco, and headed to Marrakech. More shopping in the Kasbah! We went out to dinner at the Al'anbar Restaurant/Lounge. Great bellydancing show! Great food! Yum! The next day, we visited the Majorelle Gardens. Beautiful! There is a shrine there for Yves Saint-Laurent. We visited the Bahia Palace where lots of movies have been made. We saw a Pizza Hut, but we didn't eat there! There was a big feast for our farewell in Casablanca.

We flew back to Paris. I talked Sharon into staying a few days before we flew home. She didn't think she would like it, but I think she did. It really helped that I spoke French!!! On Dec. 29th, we went to a street market and to Versailles Palace. We went to the Louvre and to Notre Dame Cathedral on the 30th. We returned home on 12-31-09.

Hi Chris & Mark,

Here is my story about your mom:


I met Sharon in 1986 when I started teaching at Lucerne Valley Elementary School. We really bonded after she became the Librarian. My class and I got to see her once a week and Sharon and I could visit while the kids were looking for books to check out. After she retired, she volunteered to read to my class.

We discovered that we liked the same kinds of books, the same movies, gardening, and DRAGONS.

I told her about the S.C.A. (Society for Creative Anachronism), a world-wide medieval club which I loved. She and her husband, Floyd, joined and started taking on positions of authority in 1997.  Sharon (Lady Katherine nic Canna) started out as a Deputy Herald, moved on to being the Lists Mistress, and was the Seneschal (boss) of our local group (The Shire of Al-Sahid) for two years. Floyd (Lord Ludwig von Ravenstein) served as Captain of Archers for three years. He served two years as our Exchequer with a new title as The Honorable Lord Ludwig... They stepped down at the Crown Tourney at George Air Force Base, on 4-9-05. They gave out awards that day.

Sharon was always talking to me about joining the garden club. It sounded like fun, but their meetings were held on Thursday mornings. I couldn't join until I retired. I finally got to join and Sharon was right. We had lots of fun at the garden club and even served as Co-presidents for two years. Sharon and I traded plants and seeds with each other and others in the club. We worked together at our annual plant sale at the Lucerne Valley Market.
