Sharon MIRON

May you build a ladder to the stars

And climb on every rung

May you stay forever young

Forever young, forever young

Bob Dylan

Le sourire et le rire éclatants de Sharon resteront dans mon coeur.

Si je ne disposais que de quelques mots pour te dire, je prendrais ceux-là : solaire et lumineuse, aimante et déterminée…
Tu nous as tant nourris de ton amitié, ton amour et ton énergie, nous ne te remercierons jamais assez.
Te rencontrer et partager ces longues et belles années avec toi est une consolation de ton départ.
Tu es partie, ma chère amie Sharon, mais tu restes éternellement avec nous, ton beau sourire et tes yeux magnifiques continuent de nous illuminer et nous nourrir de ton amitié.
Repose en paix, tu nous manques mais ne nous quittes pas vraiment.
Je t’aime

Les mots ont peu de puissance par rapport aux faits : une femme magnifique s’est éteinte, que ceux qui restent aient des souvenirs d’elle qui redonnent un peu de sa présence à leurs vies.
Nous avons tellement de souvenirs de ces 40 dernières années que nous ne pouvons que pleurer ….

Sharon was a wonderful colleague and teacher, loved and respected by all. My time working with her has only been too short, but long enough to discover a witty, fun-loving person, dedicated and just. My sincere condolences to all her family. We miss her terribly in Duby.

Miron was a great person, she was head of the OIB section, a mentor to those who needed one and a great teacher. She was my examiner during the entry oral and I owe my admission in the section to her.

In my first year in Duby, she asked as homework that the whole class write a poem for the ASIBA poetry contest on the theme Green. I'll never forget the day when those who wanted, shared their poems and read them in front of the class. No judgements, no mockery and no one was left out.

Tones varied, from personal and introspective writings on complex and disturbed teenage feelings, to more contemplative love letters to nature and finally more delirious and comical tales that had the whole class roaring in laughter.

I wrote my first poem in that class and still to this day, I love poetry, I breathe it and dream of it. To have an effect on many people the way she did is just remarkable, more than anyone could hope to contribute to this world.

I thank you for everything, Ms. Miron. I hope Duby and its students will have more people like you, even though you were one of a kind.
