To the Bell and Quam family: I am so sadden by the loss of Sharon. Sharon you have not been in my life for years now but I have never stopped thinking of you. I miss all the things that we did not get to share.Getting married, having kids,just talking everyday like we used to. I will never forget the years that we did have together all the fun and laughs we shared. You were my sister my best friend. You have always been in my heart and thoughts. Thank you for the time I did have with you your smile and laugh always made me happy. Your girls are beautiful and I know they will do great things just as you have done. I will keep Drew your girls and your Mom and Dad always in my prayers. You left a great mark and touched so many lifes. Love you forever

My heart goes out to the Bell and Quam family for the loss of Sharon. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Sharon, you amazed me with your warmth, huge smile with a laugh to match, and positive energy and attitude. You were an amazing mother and such a loving person. You will be missed greatly by all who knew you. I feel honored and blessed to have had the pleasure of knowing you for the short time that we had. You will always be remembered fondly.

Dear Sharon,
I did not know you long, but you made an impact on my life. Your strength, your generosity and overall fun nature. You were such a great mommy to Brooke and Andi.
Thank you for helping Kennedy and I feel welcome when we first moved to CA last year.
You are a very special and unique woman who I will always miss and never forget.
Love,
Jeannie

Drew-
I am at a loss of words. i was shocked to recieve the email from DSUSA-OC regarding Sharon’s passing. I remember you both so fondly. I remember Sharon and I were both so excited to start USC. our paths went in different directions, but it sounds like all of her dreams came true in her personal and professional life. Our world is a less bright with Sharon gone. Heaven has become brighter. You and your beautiful daughters are in my prayers. I hope we can reconnect soon.
Always,
Laura Garcia-Lance,
