Dear Bridgeman Family; Sharon's life was her family both personally and at Indian River M.S., which is where I met her. She was always the professional while being kind and thoughtful and full of love for her students and friends. She would arrange her lunch time, on the days that her grandchildren Taylor and Victoria attended the Lab School, so she could spend it having lunch with them. We shared many conversations and they were always about her family or students. She never complained and was always a positive role model, always a bundle of energy with a determination to perform her duties well. I hadn't seen her recently, as my job location changed, but thought of her often. My regret is that I didn't get to visit or talk with her before last Sunday. All the tributes to her during the service were a wonderful representation of what a fine woman she was.

Dear Mr. Jerry and Bridgeman Family,

Our prayers are with you all during this time. Ms. Sharon was a kind and wonderful woman. She always provided me with wisdom and insight during the talks we had on the front porch. Hunter enjoyed being part of "Nana Night" and will, I'm sure, always remember those nights. I hope you are able to find peace in each other during this difficult time.

Love Always,
The Perdue Family (Dona, Ashley, and Hunter)

Dear Bridgeman Family, our prayers are with you all as Sharon was an absolute joy to know and a wonderful neighbor. She was always kind and welcoming to our boys Joshua & Jacob and they spent many many days enjoying her hospitality. I loved talking plants & flowers with her in the front yard and always found her to be so wonderfully kind. We hope that you find some peace in your faith, family and friends during this difficult time.

Dear Mr. Bridgeman and family, I feel honored and blessed to have known Sharon and very sad to hear of her passing. She was a wonderful teacher assistant and truly loved the children she worked with. I loved her enthusiasm, patience and dedication to me as my teacher assistant at Indian River Middle and to all her students there. She treated everyone as part of the family and would go above and beyond in everything she did.
I hope you find comfort in the fact that she was loved by so many and will be missed greatly. My prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Dear Mr. Bridgeman and family, It is with great sadness I write this note. Sharon worked with me for the past seven years as a teacher assistant. I always considered her an equal and enjoyed the years we taught together. She was loved by all of the students she worked with over the years. She was the soft place to fall when the kids needed someone to share their frustrations or sorrows with. Sharon will be missed by all those at school who knew her. We shared many stories and I feel I know your family intimately. Sharon was a dedicated wife, mother and grandmother. I'm a better person from having know her and I will take with me many fond memories of the time we spent together in class.
