Sharie, there is never a day that passes that I do not think of you and miss you dearly. You were truly a blessing in my life. I love you always.

December 8, 2011

I am sending up a special Christmas request to Sharie.
I know you are always watching over your family all year long. But, this year, at this time, a few may need to be held, perhaps carried through this holliday season. In some special way, could you remind each of your loved ones HOW MUCH you enjoyed...and still enjoy...this time of year. You used to lift their spirits with your smile. I ask this Christmas, that you lift their spirits with your wings! Let every Christmas tree star remind them of the twinkle in your eye. Let every child's giggle remind them of your laughter. Let every Christmas hug remind them of how much you love them and how much you want them to be happy. Being together with the ones you love is the true gift of Christmas. Comfort and remind them this year that you are with them....together. A family....ALWAYS!

With lots of Christmas Love,
- Friend

Ree Ree, yes we all called you Ree Ree when you were little, those beautiful days when you first stole our hearts. I miss you sweet heart and will always keep you in my heart. I still wake up thinking you are at Maw Maw Liz's old house, and then it hits me the very next second, that you are in God's house now. My heart aches deep, even though I know you are there in the most perfect place. We should be happy for you, but I guess our earthly selfishness wishes for you to be with us first. You were loved so much by your family and still loved, forever loved by those all of us who knew you. This morning I had to tell you that I miss you very much. Oh my sweet Godchild, our little Sharie, I miss you and still love you dearly.
Love you forever,

Sharie,

we have never met, but I have had the honor of meeting your father and brother who are in my opinion truly awesome men. If they represent a glimpse of what your character was like, then you must have been one awesome young lady. I can tell that you are most definitely loved and most sadly missed. If there is one prayer that I wish that God would answer; it would be to have your family reunited.......I read that God can not tell a lie, and that he promises to bring families back together soon....I will keep praying until that day comes.........Travis, keep your head up. LOL

January 9, 2010

Sharie,

Its been a year and some days., Your smile, i see so clearly, its still just not real to me. Sarah and I was talking lastnight about you and just how this has brought all of us closer than ever again. It is so sad that we all gather now at your resting place, instead a bonfire or a bar to grab a beer. I want you to know that your legend will never die. I was listening to elton john, candle in the wind. It brought tears to my eyes and i pulled your pictures up on my myspace. Yes its true, we gained a beautiful angel and lost a dear friend. If you ask me i would trade it back in a heartbeat, but i was tought not to question Gods work. So I guess I wont. But sometimes I want to, I want him to send you back to us, that is what we all want. But we all know it isnt possible. "Why" is the main question, and that question only God will know. It has been a great great honor to be a friend of yours. And yes we all have gained a beautiful angel. I think it was just too soon!. But until that great day that we all find our home in heaven I will be down here thinking of you every minute of the way. In Loving Memory Of Our Sharie........

Love you always girly,

April 15, 1906 - December 31, 2009 and you have been in Heaven over a year, starting your eternity. As I sit here contemplating what I want to say, and I keep coming back to the Sermon I heard about the dash between the dates on the headstones. They are there for us that are still here to remember your life and the joy and happiness you gave us. See you one day.

I relize I should have wrote sooner,but I could'nt. I went to high school with Sharie, and it feels like it was yesterday. She was one of the happiest people I knew. My day always got better when I saw that smile on her face!! It was there even when she had nothing to smile about!! I always admired her. I know it hurts to lose someone, the pain is almost unbearable. But God took her for a resaon that we may never understand. May God comfort you, because I Know its hard. Know that she is watching over you! I am praying for the family!

“Angel”

She was a daughter,
Mother,
Wife
Sister,
Friend,
The encouragement she brought to everyone,
She always had that trusting embrace,
Such a generous heart,
Irrepressible sprit,
Such a compassionate person,
With a delicate touch,
Devoted,
Loving,
Brave little dancer,
So beautiful and sweet,
We miss your smile and the brightness you brought into this world,
Even though your not in sight,
You’ll always be in our thoughts day and nights,
We were lucky to be sent with your grace,
We pray for you as you watch down from above,
Our love is everlasting,
We all miss you so deeply,
You’ll never be forgotten,
Your memories will be forever,
She’s an angel now,
We love you Sharie


Chantelle Matherne

Mr. Kurt and Mrs. Patsy,

Sharie was a beautiful woman and a smile that will never be forgotten. She was always full of life and always making someone smile. Sharie was a wonderful mother that always made sure her children had everything that she could give them. She loved her children so dearly. She will be forever in our hearts. Mr Kurt and Mrs. Patsy I'm truly sorry from the bottom of my heart for the pain you have to feel. You both are beyond amazing parents. You have been the closet to a mother or father to me. Words can't express how much you mean to me. Sharie's an angel now watching over. Every time you look at your grand babies you will always see Sharie. I love you both so much. Just remember she's an Angel in heaven now watching over you forever. My prayers and thoughts are with you. I love you dearly.


Sharie, you and I met in third grade. You always so pretty, so sweet and fun to be around. You were a wonderful mother (that most wish they were). You always had something positive to say when I was upset. When we moved to Ohio and you and I became very close. We talked all the time and I couldn't wait to come home to see you. I remember Christmas Eve night we talked to each other and to say Merry Christmas and I love you. I'm so sorry baby girl. You were a great person inside and out. You had a sparkly way about you that shined everywhere you went. You were a very respectful person with a huge heart. You were a great sister in law and I will never forget you Sharie. You are a very beautiful Angel in heaven now watching over us with your beautiful smile. I miss you and love you very much.

There is so much to say about Sharie...

From the moment I met Sharie I couldn't help but love her! She was so full of life, happy, loving, outgoing, hilarious and such an amazing person!!! Over the years, Sharie became like another little sister to so many people. I truley feel blessed that you were brought into my life!

Without you Sharie I don't know how I would of made it threw the past 3 years. You were always there when I needed parenting advise and someone to talk to. No matter what the time. I remember, you laughed the first time I called you for advise. You thought it was so funny you were giving me advise and it wasn't the other way around.

You turned out to be an amazing & beautiful woman!!! I'm going to miss you so so so much!!! You will forever be in my heart and in my prayers!

Mrs. Patsy, Mr. Kurt, Brent, Travis, Matt, Lexi, Braydon and family,

There is nothing I can say to ease the pain or to make ya'll feel better. I know how much ya'll loved and adored Sharie! And she loved ya'll so so much! She would call me and was so excited everytime Mom and Dad were going see her in Mississippi. Travis and Brent were Sharie's big brothers and she wouldn't of traded them for the world. Lexi and Brayden were her heart and soul! She told me a while back, how could anyone not believe in god when you have a baby of your own. She loved all her family and friends unconditionally!

Heaven is so much brighter with Sharie Lynn and her beautiful smile! Just know that Sharie is watching over each of you and is right by your side. Everyone's got a new guardian angel now and she wants to see you smile!

Y'all are in my prayers and I love all of you!!!

concept of sharie being gone.
she always had the biggest smile on
her face, no matter what situation

she was like a big sister to me.
i would go to next door and
maw maw would dress us up and
play super model. i love her so much. she will be missed VERY much.
but now she is with paw paw gil
and maw maw liz, happier than
she's ever been. she is watching
over each and every one of us.

Dear Kurt, dear Patsy and the rest of the family

I was really shocked when Irene wrote me the horrorful news. No parents should live to see their kid die. I still remember Sharie as a wonderful little girl. On my visits in 1994 and 2004 I had the pleasure to meet her. Even if it was just a short time I still have her lovely kind in mind.

A normal January night,
Began with love and hopefulness;
And ended with shock and fright.
As I heard and found out
what has happened some days before,
The shock set in; the grief began
And I felt it more and more -

Because this isn't fair.
How different would our world be
Had this event not occurred.
The shock we never would have felt,
The crying never heard.
If this rose hadn't faded,
If this rose hadn't died,
Would we still all be happy,
And would we not have cried?
We haven't quite figured it out,
But one day we will know.
Without a doubt we'll all find out
And in our knowledge, grow.

The saddest word mankind knows
will always be Good-bye.
So when a young woman departs,
we who are left behind,
Must realize God loves children.
Angels Are Hard To Find!!

I will pray for her and the whole family....

I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY AND YOU WOULD THINK I WOULD. JUST KNOW THAT GOD HAS A PLAN FOR ALL OF US. I DIDNT KNOW SHARIE THAT WELL, BUT JESSICA TALKED ABOUT HER A LOT. AND SHE SOUNDED LIKE SUCH A WONDERFUL PERSON WHO WILL BE GREATLY MISSED. TRAVIS YOU WILL ALWAYS BE SPECIAL TO ME AND MY FAMILY. SO ANYTIME YOU OR YOUR MOM NEED TO TALK I'LL BE THERE. SO JUST REMEMBER THAT GOD DOES THINGS FOR A REASON THAT WE MAY NEVER UNDERSTAND UNTIL WE ARE ALL IN HEAVEN TOGETHER.
MY HEART & PRAYERS ARE WITH EACH OF YOU.

There are so many memories growing up with Sharie that I will cherish forever. From playing dressup with her as a toddler to watching her grow into a beautiful young woman and loving mother. She had fun no matter what we did. I will miss her so much, and I hurt for all of you. The memories we all share with her will keep her alive in our hearts. Lizzi

We wish there were words we could say or things we could do that would change the situation and ease your pain. All we can do is offer uplifting words and give you a shoulder to lean on and a hand of help when needed. The pain, emptiness, and lonliness are all natural emotions that we feel. There is only one who can ease those feelings and bring true peace. Don't hesitate to allow Jesus to wrap his arms around you, mend your broken hearts, and comfort you. 2 Corinthians 1:3 says "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort". He is our comforter.
Remember we are here for all of you.

We love you,

Irene and Ronnie Moore

January 5, 2009

To Kurt, Patsy, Matt, BJ, Travis and Family.

Our heart goes out to you. We want you to know we are keeping you in our prayers. There are no words to express what we feel in our hearts, only to let you know we are here for you.

Having Sharie for my Godchild has been a blessing for both me and Ronnie. She brought so much sunshine to our lives with her beautiful smile and loving ways. I can still see her as a little baby in the cradle we bought for her when she was born. I was so proud to be her Nanny. She loved being in pictures. She was always ready to smile when a camera was handy, especially when she was in the dance recital. I can still see her playing in my old dance costumes, dancing all over my house to the music of the 80s and 90s. She was such a loving child, in 1995 she gave so much love to her Paw Paw Gil when he needed it most after Maw Maw Liz passed away. In 2000 she was there loving her Paw Paw Gil and giving him hope with his struggle through lung cancer.

When she told us she was getting married, we knew our little Sharie was all grown up. Sharie was a wonderful mother to Lexy and Brayden and she will be watching over them from heaven.

God works in mysterious ways and we will never understand the reason he chose Sharie, but we do know she has been a blessing to those of us who knew her. God loaned her to us for a short time and now He has taken her home. She is surrounded by peace and happiness. Paw Paw Gil and Maw Maw Liz are holding her in their arms [remember the handkerchief], and she is happy. Through God’s love Sharie will be watching over all of you, and one day you will see her again.
We love you.
Irene and Ronnie

Sharie,
God has taken you to be among His angels. You were so young, filled with innocence and had so much love to give. Our hearts are saddened. We will miss you and everything about you, your hugs, your laughter and your beautiful smile. We know even though we cannot see you, you are not far away. We love you Sharie.
Nanny and Uncle Ronnie

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

My beautiful Sharie. If I could have only taken your place inside that car baby, Daddy would have. Jesus didn’t want me he wanted such pretty angle as you sweetie. I will not and shall not go one day without thinking of you and your wonderful smile that use to say “ it’s ok Daddy”when ever I was troubled are something wasn’t going the way it should. Sharie if there is a way that these words can be found to your heart, just know that your Brayden and Lexy will always have exactly what you wanted them to have. That will be my life’s gold, and I promise as I done for you on “Sharie Day” and let you buy what you wanted, I will do for Lexy, to give her a “Lexy Day”
Sharie you will always be in my heart every day and night. I will miss seeing you walking over to visit or waving goodbye as I drive off to work in the evenings. Walking around the pond to see what we are doing. When I need to see and hold you I will visit your children and hold them to my heart. I love you baby.

I wish there was somthing i could say or do to take the pain away. I know that Sharie is in haven is is now able to look over and take care of all the ones she loved. There will not be a day that goes by that we will not think about all the things she has done or all the lives she has touched when she was with us.
Even the smallest of things like teaching someone how to blow a bubble.
When i told my duaghter Morgan about what happen the first things she said was, she tought me how to blow a bubble without spitting out my gum. We all loved her very much she was like a little sister to me, her and Karen spent many of nights at my house keeping me up all hours of the night laughing and cutting up, but i didnt mind i loved every minute of it. She was a shinning star in my life and in my families life, and She will always be the brightest star in the sky for us to see and remeber all the life and light she brought to all of our lives.
My prayers and thoughts will continue to be with all the family and may god help yall get through this tough time.
Love yall Bunches!!

I'll never forget all the times you use to stay with me and keep me company when I lived next door. I'll never forget this past summer when we were inseperatable. You were a true friend and very special to me and my family. My babies sure loved their ReRe! I will never let them forget you and that you loved them as if they were your own. My heart aches so bad to know that you will never be here anymore, But I have a peace in me knowing that you are in a better place and you will always be shining down on us. I love you and will treasure our friendship forever. I will never forget you! I will miss my best friend!

Matt, Brayden, and Lexy,
She was such a beautiful person. She loved ya'll so much. Ya'll were her life. She will always be with you. I make a vow to you Matt: I am here for you when ever you need me. Those kids are like my own and I will do all that I can to make sure they have everything they need. I will also help them to remember what a beautiful person their mother was and that she loved them more than anything! I am here for you and you will be in my prayers!

Mr Kurt and Mrs Patsy,
You're family holds a special place in my heart. Ya'll are my second family. You have done so much for me and forever I will be greatful. I loved Sharie dearly. She was my best friend. I promise to be here when ever you need me. I will always be here to help you with Brayden and Lexy. They are two beautiful children who will also hold a special place in my heart. Lexy and Brayden will need you now just as you will need them. Be strong for them! Help them to remember what a wonderful person their mother was and let them know everyday that she loved them more than anything! She will always be with you. You just have to close your eyes and remember every good memory you can. I promise she will make you laugh. I do everytime I think about her. That was just Sharie! She loved both of you very much! Be strong! I love you and you are in my prayers!

Kurk,Patsy,Matt,&family,
I really don't know what to say. Karen and Sharie were best friends. They argued, cryed, laughed, and they loved each other like sisters. Morgan thought the sun was Sharie. My family loved Sharie like she was our own. Our love and prayers goes out to all of you. Just
know that we are here for all of you.
God is good and he loves us and He will get us through our heart ache.
God bless you and be with you in the days ahead.
We love ya'll

Mr. Kurt, Mrs. Patsy, Matt, Travis, and Brent
I am so sorry for what your family is going through at this time. Sharie had such a bubbly personality and infectious smile that could light up any room. Mia has always and will continue to remind me of Sharie. Take comfort in knowing that like Jamey, she is in the arms of Jesus. I am praying for each and every one of you.

Kurt, Patsy, and Family,
Having walked this path not so long ago, there are no words to express how I feel. I wish there was something I could say or do to ease your pain…but I know only God with his infinite love and wisdom can do that. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Sharie,
We found out Christmas morning,
that God had called your name.
Today we must say goodbye;
there is so much grief and pain.
It breaks our hearts to lose you;
you do not go alone;
for part of us went with you,
now that God has called you home.
Our hearts hold wonderful memories,
of a daughter, mother, and bride.
And though they cannot see you,
I know you will always be at their side.
Once again our family chain is broken,
and nothing will ever be the same;
but as God calls us, one by one,
the chain will link again!
Until then….please hug Tiffany for me.
love,
Dee Ann

Where should I begin? Sharie was my best friend since I was 12 years old. She was my partner in crime, the one I told everything to, and most of all she was my sister. She will always hold a place in my heart, and so will yall's family. Yall were like a second family to me and I will always cherish the times we have had together. Her love and spirit will live on through all of us but most of all through those babies. I love you all so much and through the grace of God we will all get through this. Sharie, LYLAS always and forever!

To the family of a wonderful girl we all hope to see again someday,

I want to start off by saying that Sharie will be missed by many. Always remember that even though we are all sad to see her go, that there are alot more who are happy to have her join them in heaven. I wish there were words to say that would make this all better, but there isn't. I wish Sharie's family the best and I want them to stay strong for those two amazing children of hers who need them more than anything right now. I will pray for everyone.

Most people don't know this, but Sharie and I were like "peas and carrots" when we were little. She was my neighbor, my partner in crime and a childhood friend. We loved to ride our bikes, pick pecans from the backyard and nag the boys in the neighborhood. We hatched a plan by pretending to get stuck in trees so our parents would call the fire dept to come and get us down (they never did). We danced side by side at my first dance recital with krimped hair, sideway ponytails and blue eyeliner. We thought we were "hot stuff."

Sharie and I grew apart many years ago, but I know she continued to bring happiness, smiles and love to all of her friends along the way. She was bubbily and always had a smile on her face.

To the family,
My deepest sympathy to you in your time of sorrow.

"True friends are never forgotten, they live within our hearts and souls forever... always dancing on our stage of memories."

My heart is broken into a million pieces for all of you. It has been almost 20 years since I last saw Sharie, but she was the most fun, cute, bubbly baby, toddler & preschooler I ever had the honor of spending time with. May God bless you and comfort you in this difficult time.

To the Family of Sharie,

I'm truly sorry for your loss my prayers are with all of you.

Rest assured that in her dying, in her flight through darkness toward a new light, she held her arms so tightly around all of you and carried your closeness with her. And when she arrived at God, everyone's image was imprinted on her joy-filled soul..
while family and friends are mourning the loss of Sharie, others are rejoicing to meet her behind the veil.

May God bless all of you!

Our prayers go out to your family.

To Patsy and my friend Lisa and all of the many who so loved Sharie,

I never met Sharie but I know the devastating loss of such a young loved one. My heart goes out to you in your loss and unspeakable grief. I know that no words can take away your pain right now, but still we offer them because it is all we have to give you.
Know that God has His arms wrapped around you and He will comfort you and get you through this, though the blackness right now is so heavy and great, you cannot see that there is a glint of sunshine behind the clouds. One day, you will again feel its warmth and the rays of Sharie's love, and that famous smile everyone mentions, forever shining inside you, lighting up your life and warming your heart.

Many Blessings,
Annie Fugler

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
