Those we love remain with us, for love itself lives on. And cherished memories never fade, just because a loved one has gone. Yes, those we love will never be, more than a thought apart, for as long as there are memories, they'll live on and on and on, in our hearts! Sweet Sharon Pierce- Tilley, beloved member of the HHS Class of 1975 will forever be in our hearts and and in the precious memories of our "Good ole days" at our beloved Hillside High! To know her was to love her, and we ALL loved her indeed! May she rest in Eternal Peace! Nurse Karla Umstead- Brandon
