It is with such sadness that I heard of the passing of Sharon. She was a person who cared deeply about education, about helping others and about doing what was right and fair for all. I knew her through her involvement in the NSTU and witnessed her passion for social justice issues and public education. On a lighter side I also remembered laughing at a comment she made when she was about to retire when she said how she'll miss the kids but....had only one more Halloween party. She will be missed by so many and made a difference for children and so many others. Alexis Allen (former Halifax County NSTU Executive member and past president NSTU)
