Sharla, words cannot express how deeply saddened I am by your passing. We shared many beautiful memories. You were a true beacon of life spirit, always radiating kindness and optimism wherever you went.
Thank you for the laughter and moments we shared. You will forever be missed, but your legacy of goodness and joy will live on in our hearts.
Rest in peace, dear friend.

I too was very shocked by the loss of Sharla. She was a very unique and memorable friend in high school. We liked spooky stuff in those days (I still do) and we had a few adventures. Sharla and I sang a duet and went to State with it. Though I didn't really know her husband, I called him last month and he seemed so very nice but was shattered, of course. I'll never forget you, Sharla. I wish healing and strength to your family.

Sharla and I were friends pre-high school. She lived near me and we spent memorable time together - especially during summer vacations. Sharla was one day older than I am and teased me that I had to be nice to her since she was my elder. It's hard to believe she's gone. My condolences to her husband and all that are grieving her death.
