"Sharon to me....is the definition of the word Entrepreneur. She cares. She goes above and beyond when no one is watching to help others succeed even when it doesn't always directly affect her bottom line. In an industry when sometimes people tend to lose their focus and forget that humanity is still at the forefront, Sharon has reminded me personally that being a leader is more than just about profitability, it's about the total picture. Helping others, teaching and providing a better life for our families. Thanks for what you provide us all Sharon. You're appreciated."
