I worked with Sharon for a few years at Sanville Elementary Boys & Girls Club. I had the honor of meeting Mrs. Campbell about 2 or 3 years ago when she was in the Morehead Hospital. She was a very spirited lady with a love for life. Her smile would brighten anyone's day. I'm sorry for your loss, and pray that the Lord will give you needed comfort and peace as you face this tough journey. Please let Sharon know that she is loved and thought of often. Rhonda Alderman
