Sharon and I have known each other since childhood. We went to the same church and went to the same school together where we graduated in the same class together. I know she is in the comfort of her New Home in Heaven. I pray that God will send the comforter to her family and friends , dry their tears and leave them with nothing but sweet sweet memories of love, laughter and fellowship with Sharon.

Sharon was a sweet lady. Anyone who met her was basically family no matter if you were just a friend of the family. Prayers for the family for the days to come.

Sharon was so sweet. Growing up together and riding the school bus together she could always make me laugh. She had the best sense of humor. The last time I saw her she came to visit my mom when my mom was living in assisted living in Jonesboro. She let me borrow her car to go to the mall. She was so special to me. I will never forget all the sweet times we had.
