Sharon's photo was included in our graduation issue of Echoes, May 31, 1961.
From Maria Latessa Drackert...
I had forgotten that she died over Easter weekend so now I remember why there was extra energy in the air. As a boarder, there was great excitement about the upcoming Easter break so we could travel home and be with family. I can still remember being in the girls lavatory on first floor (it was across from my home room w/Sister ??? and the windows faced the tennis courts) and Sharon was in there as well. She asked if someone had a comb, and I lent her mine. (You probably may not do this today.) After she used it, she put her hands on my cheeks, gave me a big smile and said 'thank you'. Imagine my shock after returning to school to learn she had died! As you mentioned on your blog, at that young age, death was a hard concept to grasp, and the sadness prevailed on our class for the remaining years.
