"I am Sharon's cousin, Marlene Hesford Hochevar, our fathers were brothers. Although Sharon and I didn't see much of each other growing up, truth is I don't remember if we did; I did get to know her a some on Facebook. She was someone I wanted to get to know better, but time just ran out. I can see that she was a beautiful soul, and I will miss her deeply! God Bless you Sharon! Love, Marlene"
In loving memory of
Sharon Pugh
