I remember as a little girl thinking how Aunt Sharon was always so put together, hair always just so and clothing impeccable. Oh the clothes!! Once she gave me a pair of mustard coloured pants and I thought they were so cool!!
Shar (as Mum called her) had a sharp wit and was quick to laugh, never one to keep her comments too quiet (that’s a family trait). She and I shared a similar humour, sometimes laughing at each other’s jokes when no one else got them.
When I was 12 and our family was moving north, we got to stay ‘in the city’ with Aunt Sharon for a few days during a snowstorm. I remember the relentless chattering through the walls as the adults sat up talking well into the wee hours. There was always laughter, food, talking (again, a family trait).
You are a classic, never out of style. It’s going be strange, the Lannon sisters now numbering 4, but I know you’ll be close by.
Rest in peace.
