Your beautiful mother, Sharon, has always been in my life since we were in first grade together. I know you wanted memories of the house of 800 Bouziden, but my memories are more for the great person she is. I always loved going to the Clarks. All the Clarks were so much fun!! I had a little brother six years younger than me, but Sharon had lots of sisters and one little brother. It seems like we all slept in one bed but maybe that was the love I felt in that home. It just wrapped you up with warmth.
My folks moved out of state when we were in sixth grade, but I would see her when I came back to stay with my grandparents. We even went to Falls Creek one summer when we were teenagers. When my cousin who was our age died, she was at his funeral. We were about 19 or 20 by that time. She made the effort to call me long distance when she heard my dad passed away. When I decided to move back to Oklahoma, who did I call? Sharon!!! She made a call and got me a job. I flew back to Oklahoma and stayed with her for a week in the house on Bouziden, and she helped me find an apartment. When we got here with my furniture, she brought a few boys and they unloaded me in a few minutes. What a wonderful thing for her to do! That was (and still is) Sharon. There are tons of stories about the love Sharon has given me through the years.
