I just heard of Shari's passing today. What a shock! I think of high school & the Beach Boys. Hooking back up in ''86 or '87 & the bootie she crocheted for my cast after I broke my ankle. Seeing her at our 30th class reunion & catching up again. It always seemed we picked up where we left off. I remember the "evil" sense of humor. I'm sorry I wasn't there for the family but know you'll be in my thoughts & prayers.

I was shocked and sad to see that Shari passed away. We knew each other in grade school, middle school and high school and we were in the bass section of the orchestra together. I enjoyed seeing Shari at our high school reunion and am very sad to know that she is not with us any longer. My heart-felt condolences to the entire family.

I knew Shari from year's back, my thought's and prayer's go out to her family and friend's.

I have many fond memories of Shari from our time together at ACNielsen. She hired me and was my manager, and she always made me feel appreciated and included in everything. When I think of Shari, I will always remember her generosity, her intelligence, her smile, and her wonderful sense of humor. I am so sad to hear of her passing and hope that your memories of her comfort you.

Shari and I had many good times in high school - lots of talks, laughs, dancing, and hanging out at the Fisher house. After the wrestling meets, Mr. Fisher would always take us to the Taco Bell for dinner. She was Daddy's little girl - and is practicing her pitching with him in Heaven now. My deepest sympathy to all who lost her, but we were blessed to have her for the time she was with us.

Dear Bob, Kim, and Family

I worked with Shari for a lot of years at Nielsen.  Soon after I first started 27 years ago, I worked with her on the old Store Observation Service and then again, years later, we both worked on the Kraft team.
