Yet, she soldiered through debilitating bouts of physical weakness, hospital trips, and the effects of prescriptions drugs, determined to tell her story and warn younger women not to travel the road to self-destruction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne example of her generosity: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter Sharon paid me under our contract, she said, \"I feel like I owe you more.

She sweetened the pot, \"I'll give you gas money.\" So I knew it was important to her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI arrived and we talked while her friend and caretaker, Greg, moved my car out of the driveway.
