We only learned yesterday of Victoria's passing, but we still want to extend our condolences to all of her family. She was a strong woman who bravely battled her cancer and found ways to encourage and inform other women dealing with the same diagnosis. We will miss her courageous spirit.

Victoria was a beautiful young woman, inside and out. The very first time I worked with her was staffing a table for the Bloch Cancer Foundation at an Ovarian Cancer Awareness Walk. Since we had to be there at 6:30 in the morning, it gave us the opportunity to learn about one another, I commented at one point how much I loved her hair and what did she use to make it look so great and she laughed and saId, You go out and buy a wig!" Great idea!

There were times she would get frustrated with some of our callers who didn't want to do everything in their power to fight cancer. She'd report back to us and let us know how it all went. One caller with whom she had a rather difficult call got back to us and said, "at first I thought she was being too strong but then I realized she was right, there is no easy way to do this. Please thank her for setting me on the right path." These are my memories of Victoria Sharp. Love and gratitude to your family for she did for others.
