Sharon was in tears as she asked for prayers and healing for Fanny on Instagram.
“But THIS IS NOT the end I want for you…I know it is all God’s call and His decision, but I wish you weren’t in this situation. I truly have no words to say…there are just no words for how painful this is for me and the others who love you,” she added.
