At my wife’s request, I promised her that there would be no obituary or memorial service after her death. Therefore, the purpose of this letter is to let friends, neighbors and acquaintances know that despite her extraordinary mental and physical resistance to her disease states, Sharon C. Heller died at home on February 27, 2012. There are no words that can adequately express my heartfelt gratitude to Mieka Neenan for the kind and loving care she provided Sharon during this very difficult time. Thanks also to Dr. David
Shinstrom, Phoebe Hershenow, Robin Becker and Molly Roberts for their kind and thoughtful help and care. Finally, I can’t say enough about the outstanding assistance provided by Bob Laws from the Hospice of the Northwest Organization – his was a true gift to Sharon as her life was coming to an end.
Donations in her memory may be made to the Annual Christmas Giving Tree at Island Market, the Orcas Island Foodbank or the Uninsured Patients Fund at Orcas Family Health Center. These were among Sharon’s favorites.
