I am so sorry to hear of Sharon's passing. She was a funny and cheerful individual who was also a caring person. She loved her children and was a loyal friend. She had a firm and unwavering belief in the goodness of God. May God bless you and give you comfort.

To the Hayes Family

May it comfort you to know that others share your grief in the loss of your loved one. Sharon was a very nice person and I will miss her smiling face. I was looking forward to her comming back to the OES as an active member but God had better plans for her.

I can honestly say I never felt someone to be so heaven sent, Miss. Sharon was one of those people who had a good heart and great advice, she was also funny. She was the only person who encouraged me to have a relationship with the Lord without being judgemental. I will truly miss her physically but I know just where she's at. A heartfelt condolence goes out to the family.
