Dear Sharon-"True friends are those special ones who share joy, sorrows and fun. Who give understanding, love and care. Who are always there, who with smiles and waves must say goodbye but will remember though they cry, that true friends never really part but remain forever within the heart." You gave this to me in a cross stitched frame in 1984 so I am giving it to you to take to heaven with you! This is all hard to accept but I know God has a plan and needed you sooner than we all wanted. I will never forget all the wonderful times shared in out lives even before Sara was born. I am glad I met your family in Baltimore and for the times shared there. Thanks for all the memories and I will hold you in my heart forever. Mike and Sara I can only pray for you both and hope you have some comfort in knowing that Sharon will be looking over both of you.

Sara, I am so sorry that you lost your mother. I have no doubt that she will always be in your heart though. You two had a special relationship.
I have thought so much about you in this past few weeks. Many times I have wished that I could somehow just give you a great big hug!
You and Kristen have shared a friendship that has lasted many years, and I know she misses your mom too. I love you Sara.

Dear Mike & Sara,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know this is a very difficult journey, but the love of our Heavenly Father and Sharon will get you through and give you strength.
I feel so blessed to have known Sharon and to be able to call her my friend. I'll never forget the first time we met. Several years ago, I was visiting the Sonoran Saint's table of Bibles and religious articles one Sunday after church. She came up along side of me and saw me looking at the Bibles. She offered her recommendation and added that this particular Bible explains why it is important to go to confession. Little did she know that at the time, I felt no real reason to go visit a Priest to talk about my sins. Her kindness, support and knowledge got me back to confession. I'll never forget that and will be forever beholden to her. We went on to work in Kindergarten Religious Ed together. She'd always show her caring smile towards myself and my elderly mother on Sundays. I have missed that reassurance that she'd pass onto me and I will continue to miss her. I have known her to be St. Mark's angel of love and mercy. Finding her doing things at the church, quietly like a church mouse. Heaven's gain is indeed our loss. God Bless You

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path. Mike and Sara we don't understand why she is gone but God had a plan for her. Trust in Him and he will direct your paths. Sharon was an awesome woman of God because she so loved His people. We are here in whatever capacity you need us. Gilbert and Diane

Dear Sharon, You were the first person I met and the first friend I had when I first moved to Tucson nine years ago. I'll never forget when we first moved into the house next door. It was Christmas Eve and we had nothing but what was packed in our cars. You came over, introduced yourself, asked if we needed anything and offered us a drink. I'm glad we became such great friends. You were my savior over the years, being another military wife, you understood! This Easter will be especially hard as Trevor, Megan and I always had a great time dyeing eggs with you, our annual tradition since we moved in. We will cherish those memories always! I hope you know how much I cared for you and missed not seeing you one last time...I do hope you understand! For that I will always be sorry! Thank you for touching my life!
Mike, Sara and Sharon's family - My heart breaks for you! My thoughts are with you all and hope you find some sort of peace in celebrating Sharon's life and knowning how many lives she has touched.
Love, Leah Mansfield

Dear Mike & Sara, Sharon gave of herself & would never accept praise. As a matter of fact she artfully made sure she escaped praise. She helped us pack when we moved & she came & spoon fed me when I was in the hospital. She was truly an angel that quietly walked among us. She was and is an inspiration to follow St. Terese's "Little Way". Now I have another example to follow, "Sharon James' Little Way". I didn't know her but a few years. I will miss seeing her smile. I will never forget "the heart of Sharon James", & I am so grateful to have known her.
Sara, your mom loved you so much. A mother's love is boundless & never wavers. She is still there for you & now she can watch over you every minute of every day. Prayers to you both, Mary Kezer

Dear Mike and Sara,
Your dear wife and mother and I had/have a special bond. She was the first sick person I visited after coming to St. Marks--she was in the hospital from her fall. She and I both "left" St. Mark's because of a tumor in our brains, she to Glory, me to hang around a bit longer and perhaps, by her prayers, to do some good for God and others before I join her in the Celebration. I know she will walk every stop of your journey with each of you, full of her love and smile and prayer. Thank you for her. My deepest sympathy for your earthly loss. My joy with you in your heavenly gain. Now Sharon is safe and free and fully engaged! Fr. Dick Tomasek, S.J.
