  1. Hi Sharon!!!
    I’m so glad I found your page!!! I hope you’re well! I’ve been looking for you and wanting to reconnect! This is Delores Burgess! I hope you remember me from back in 2009. I’m a two 2 breast cancer conqueror who had the pleasure of meeting you and sharing in one of your Komen events with the “hats” LOL!. I have the one woman show “Fighting For The Title” and you attending my “Loving Me” Women’s Empowerment Seminar as a Komen vendor at PickWick Gardens in Burbank in 2009. I’m back living in LA and am looking for opportunities to build relationships where I can be of service with my expertise. When and if you have a spare moment, will you please give me a call at 770-309-6925! I would love to catch up! Thank You!
