Sharon Broekman

Posted

The wild woman from Borneo has left the building (AKA Sharon Pfister Broekman).

I lived, tried, and died. Thanks to all the people in my life that took the time to know, love and support me, you are all awesome! Thanks again to all those who did not, Oh well, your loss. Maybe in the next life.

So as not to screw up your day I do not want a wake. Don’t think it is worth the cost anyway. So instead at 5:00 pm on the day you wish, take a drink of your liking and say either, Here’s to you Sharon or thank God and the Grey Hound Your are Gone! I will be watching.

Now to the good part. If you ever get to Tahiti look me up. I will be the most beautiful bag-lady there and it will be my pleasure to show you around.

Love to all and take care. Thank you very much. Just me, Sharon Pfister Broekman. 1949 – 2025

P.S. With real luck Sam Elliott will be my Bag-Man!
