In lieu of flowers or other gifts, the Richardson family is accepting donations that will be used to establish a lasting memorial in celebration of Sharon's life and accomplishments. This memorial will be located in a place she loved and celebrate her dedication to nurturing children and appreciation of nature.

Its final form will be shaped by the outpouring of support from those whose lives she so deeply touched. Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated and all money collected will go directly towards memorializing Sharon's legacy in a place that will be accessible to all who she touched.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Mom would certainly appreciate it.
