This video is in loving memory of Cami's best friend, Sharon...and dedicated to her husband, my best friend, Nick.
Sharon was the kindest, gentlest, most loving person you could ever meet. She was born with a heart defect that she's had to deal with all her life. Doctors didn't expect her to make it out of her teens. So in a way, she was a living miracle. And I believe THAT knowledge made her value the GIFT OF LIFE even more than most of us could ever understand. Maybe that's why she had the ability to make you smile with one look, make you laugh with a single word, and make you warm inside with a single hug. Sharon was the greatest Ambassador for love. She not only expressed her compassion towards others, but also extended it towards animals. She loved "all creatures great and small".
When God called Sharon to be with Him on Sunday, January 13th, it left all of us with an emptiness for our loss. Even though her heart was physically weak, we know it was spiritually strong. And we are comforted in knowing that, as Matthew so eloquently proclaims, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."

Dearest Cami and Chris,
We are so moved by the memorial to your friend who seemed to have a rich life of love, faith and friends to carry her through the days of her life. She is a beautiful woman and her smile reflects her happiness in spite of life's challenges. We extend our sympathy to you both in the loss of this close, dear friend.
Our love,
Aunt Mary and Uncle Charles
What a beautiful tribute to Sharon. Was the song one Sharon liked or one you thought was appropriate for her? It was. I think it would have been hard to create this, so full of memories - but a loving message and memory for Nick,friends,and family.
I love you both very much. mom
I want to let you know that you and Cami are in our thoughts and prayers. The video was beautiful and I'm sure it meant the world to so many people. I'm truly sorry for your loss. Thanks for everything!

Sharon was one of those rare people that loved generously. She loved her family, her pets, and her friends more than most. She loved life! We will miss her sense of humor, her smile, and generosity.

Nick, our prayers are with you for peace during a painful stop in life's journey. How sweet to know Sharon is with Jesus and her heart is now perfected in him.

I read about your friend Sharon, and watched, with tears in my eyes, the tribute to her. Made me realize again how the images that we make go so far beyond the day that we make them. To you and Cami both...I’m so sorry for your loss. And, “I can only imagine” both makes me cry and gets me excited, every single time I hear it. Thank you for starting off my morning on a beautiful note. :)
Thanks for puting this on here Aunt Shay was the best and deserved to have a video in her honor. =)
Thanks Chris!
Knowing Sha was one of those gifts that God only gives a few times in life. Her family, shown in the video, is another gift. Sharon would want us to celebrate life...so this video is a testiment to a life well lived and a life we loved. I miss you, Fish!
