I was only a few years old when Shari Lewis died, but I was always raised with her work. My mom told me that the only time she cried over a celebrity death was Shari Lewis. I still remember the Shari Lewis Pesach show that we watched every year, with Lamb Chop popping out of the soup pot. That always cracked me up. When I was little my mom would do a Hush Puppy impression that I still force her to do sometimes, lol.
