Sharon was such a bright human being. We have been so lucky to have shared part of our lives with her. Sharon was a passionate scientist, friend, spouse, sister, daughter, aunt, granddaughter, godmother, and colleague. We are picking each other up and growing together in her absence. Please honor Sharon's memory by contributing to a fellowship in her name for mentoring young women in science.

The money is split between these four projects:

1) Sharon Gray Memorial Award- UC Davis
2) Sharon Gray Memorial Award- University of Illinois
3) Scientific exchange for female scientists between Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research and UC Davis
4) American Society of Plant Biologists - Travel Award
