I am so sorry this bright and sweet lady has left this earth. I know she will be missed, and my sincerest sympathy to Jim, Jimmy and Michelle, Darla, and all her nieces and nephews.
We were first cousins, but grew up and lived in different states. The times we actually saw each other were few. Over the last few years we have connected by phone. We talked of our ancestors and of family memories, and of our lives now. I shall miss those chats and hearing your voice sharing your life. Rest in Peace Sug, free of pain. If you see our family in heaven, say "hello" from me.

We will always hold dear all the memories of the fun we have had together and all the laughs we have shared through the years. We enjoyed visiting Sharon and Jim and Mary in Sarasota in 2012. Jim drove us to the beach at Siesta Key and we looked for shells, shopped in the shops, and tried Grouper Sandwiches for the first time. We will remember the class reunions and all the fun we have shared. Rest in peace dear friend, Sharon. You fought the good fight and your reward is to be in Glory without pain and suffering. We love you still until we meet again. Sending hugs.
