We are so sorry to hear of Sharon’s passing. Bill and I have so many happy memories of Sharon and her family starting when she and Bill worked together at Purity Surpreme many, many years ago through to Sharon and I having babies 38 years ago within days of each other. We hold the Arden’s and Trinidads in our hearts. May happy memories help you all through these tough times.

I am saddened to learn of Sharon’s passing. Sharon and I spent time chatting “just about everything” at Trading Clothes during those quiet times when I brought clothes for consignment. She had a first class shop and was a first class lady. May she rest in peace.

I met Sharon at her store on Summer Street and it became a routine to visit, chat and shop. She had exceptional styling ability and would always be honest about whether a piece of clothing was a good choice or not for me. She would also listen to and be supportive of any particular stress going on in my life. She often spoke fondly about her children and grandchildren. She would tell me about what weekend activity was about to happen with one of them. She also would often have a grandchild working with her at the shop and she would be so thrilled with this. I have thought of her many times since she sold her business and miss her engaging, generous spirit. Sharon was a wonderfully giving, caring woman who deserves a special place in heaven.
My sympathy to her husband who I would see most Saturdays and her family.
