A sweet and loving friend has passed. Sharon Brown was a true friend to so many people, always so generous in helping and assisting us on Cubits and All Things Plants/Garden.org. Whether it was gardening, arts, quilting or whatever. So many of us miss her, I do miss her so much, I can't stop my tears. Her loving friendship reached all the way to me in Iceland.

My condolences to her children and their families. I'm glad that she lived to be a part in her daughter's beautiful wedding.

Sharon had so many talents. Her Aunt Bett's and Ninna's stories are my all time favorite. We often talked about them and how wonderful it would be to have them published in a book. I still hope that some of her friends or family will do that in good time. I' m sure that many would like to have that book💕
Sharon will live in my memories always.

I think Sharon donated paintings to two of our raffles; the first one was a beautiful red Hibiscus that I sooo wanted to win. The second raffle painting, if I remember correctly was a golden-yellow bloom and I tried my luck at winning that one too but it was not meant to be. Last year, I contacted Sharon and we talked about me purchasing one of her paintings; at the time she was working on one for someone else but she agreed to do a painting for me once her current project was finished. She wanted to know details of which flower I preferred, what colors I liked, different sizes, etc. She was such a gracious lady and so accommodating. Even after her health issues arose and after she was home from the hospital, she still talked about doing that painting and I stressed to her that she needed to take time to recuperate fully, that should be the first priority.

Sharon was a dear, special lady with such a caring heart and she will be remembered with so much love.

Yes she was a dear, special lady, who was everyone's best friend.

If you'd like to read her life in her own words, her Spotlight interview on Cubits is here.

So sorry to hear. She was such a sweet person. My thoughts and prayers go to her family and friends.

Precious memories, how they linger. Until we meet again, my dear friend, thank you for everything.

Will miss Sharon, she has been really nice here. Condolences to her family and may our Lord's eternal light shine upon her.

Sharon had such an enviable outlook on life and people: I will remember her most by keeping that in my heart.

The loss of another dear friend. She was so helpful when I was making my Cubits and also in the promotion of the Store. She was one of my administrators on Cubits and she was always giving me a hard time because I would not agree to her writing a Who's Who about me. We are friends on Facebook and now she is gone. My heart is heavy and I can only hope we meet again one day.

I have nothing to add to the previous posts other than I agree with everyone of them. I am deeply saddened and shocked.

Sad news. My condolences to all Sharon's friends and to her family.

It was Sharon who encouraged me to write articles and ideas for this site; never would have attempted that without her kind encouragement. She was a peach! Always positive; always helpful. Great story teller.

I am hoping that her dog Sunshine will be well cared for. Several months ago Sharon asked for photos of my dog Jack; she wanted to paint his portrait; she showed me the painting when it was about half finished. That was Sharon; with all she had going on in her life, she still took time to create artwork to make other people happy.

Thanks Larry,
This helps us endure our grief somewhat.

Just saw this on FB. I haven't been on here or the old DG site in years. What a loss to this community of loving plant people. She was a very special lady. RIP "Cuz"

So sad to hear about Sharon's passing. Her stories were just wonderful!

@LarryR, thank you so very much for posting your pictures of Sharon! It brought tears to my eyes but Sharon's infectious smile also brought a smile to my lips.

I join in the sadness, but also rejoice in having known such a kind and gracious person. In the wise words of Dr. Suess: Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. To an eternally smiling Sharon - thank you for the pleasure of your acquaintance.

I can just picture Sharon smiling at all the love.

Oh such sad news I am hearing today! Ever so grateful I was able to "meet" this wonderful lady through the wonders of computers, gardening, and Dave. We are also blessed with one of her pieces of artwork which had been on our wall since we received it. Such a sweet, sweet gesture from our Sharon who said: "If you'll send me a picture of Pepper's little bunny face, I'll paint a picture for your Hubby if you think he would like it. It wouldn't be huge but I might be able to get it to you before Christmas."

We are all lucky to have her writings and artwork to remember her by. We should all be so talented to leave such memories behind. We will miss you dearly, Sharon.

I just found this.
I see that Sharon has touched many lives in a lasting way. As she has mine. I can not put words in type that describe how I feel right now.
I can only say that I will miss her and am thankful for having met her.
