Sharon was one of the best people I’ve ever known. We had so many good times over the years. Even though time would go by without us seeing each other, we talked on the phone almost every day, sometimes more than once a day. I miss her so much!
We were so blessed by having Sharon as a close friend and sister in the Lord. She loved life, her friends and the Lord. In her own special and unique we Sharon always knew just what to say; honest, forthright and to the point, yet always with love. We already miss hearing her say “Get over it,” with that cute little laugh she had. We know Sharon is safe in the arms of Jesus now, and we will see here again on the other side.
We will always love you and miss you.
We feel very privileged to call Sharon one of our very best friends for the past eight years. She had such a “colorful” personality and had so much compassion for others. We absolutely loved her and her “spunky” attitude and will so very much miss the comical messages she would leave on our answering machine all the time. No matter what was going on, she always had a way to make us laugh!! We feel very blessed to have been part of her life, and we will never forget her.
We feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to have Sharon as one of our very best friends for the past eight years. We loved her and her “colorful” personality so much. What a sense of humor she had!! She also had amazing compassion for others and a way to make people laugh no matter what kind of day they were having. We will miss Sharon so very much, and will especially miss those comical messages she would always leave on our answering machine. There will never be another like her, and we are truly blessed to have been a part of her life.
Sharon was always a sweet, caring person who loved to laugh and enjoyed family & friends. We were blessed to have shared her spirit . Hoping she is at peace.
I know life was very difficult at times, but you always remained optimistic and positive. You will be missed.

Sharon was a beautiful person inside and out. I consider myself very lucky to be her friend. I will always
remember, miss and love Sharon.
Sharon had the greatest sense of humor and the greatest compassion for others . Sharon would be the first person to right a wrong for someone else, and the first person to laugh at herself. We were very lucky to have known her , I will never forget the time we spent together and always miss her and her ability to make me laugh.
