Firsts

When we were engaged, Sharon tried not to look excited, but she couldn't fool anyone. :-) She threw a bridal shower for me and invited all her friends as well as the whole ward that Michael attended. It was beautiful! She went all out! I still remember the incredible cake, and the tasty punch with fruit and slushy in it. :-) The room was full of joy. I remember the love that I felt from her friends that could have only come from the love they had from her.
Then she held a reception at their home after the big reception at the church, for all her friends that would have felt uncomfortable going to all the way to Santa Rosa! We were visiting with friends till after midnight. I remember again being amazed at the love these friends had for Sharon and Bill and their family.


After we were married she would call once a week to see how we were doing, and to get all the news. When she heard news of a baby on the way she started shopping and sewing! oh my! She made a baby basket, with several replaceable linings and matching sheets, blankets, pillows. She bought toys, clothes, and dolls and even the babies crib. They came to us that first Christmas in several oversized UPS boxes.
And so begins her years of spoiling her children and grandchildren through magnanomous support and donations to UPS. :-) We love you Sharon!
