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. This is taking so long.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI had made several 140-mile round trips from my house to hers, but felt that was all part of the original agreement. \"You don't owe me anything more,\" I told her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe called me in March, 2015. \"Ray, I need you to come up here.

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. When he returned, Sharon said, \"Come outside so I can show you.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the driveway was a BMW with a poster attached: \"Ray, don't be a screamer when you see your new Beamer.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was stunned, speechless, and very grateful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe timing was perfect.
