**Special thanks goes out to American Forensics for accepting Sharon's case and discovering lung cancer as her primary cause of death. Due to the COVID 19 circumstances, autopsies are not as readily available. BIG THANKS goes out to the family and friends who donated funds for us to be able to get an autopsy and find some closure. There is no way to express the full gratitude and peace we have for being able to get some answers and your gifts of kindness made all the difference! Thank you all for your love and support during this difficult time.
