    We’re sorry to hear the passing of Sharon. Mom always spoke fondly of Sharon and they had a lot of childhood memories. They are now together in Heaven.

    Sincere sympathies to the family—

    I attended Hartford Union High from 1965-1969. I took every class that Sharon taught. One of my favorite teachers.

    So sorry for your loss. Ms Schwartz was a wonderful teacher and truly cared about her students. She definitely left an impression on all of us who were lucky enough to have experienced her classes.
