Although I was never fortunate enough to meet Sharon in person, her mother spoke so highly of her, and with such pride and love evident in her eyes, that I know your loss is tremendous. I wanted to offer my sincerest condolences to the entire family. Please know that you're all in my prayers.

Death ends a life, not a relationship. It all started with a daughter, a little girl who grows up to become a friend to her mother and father, a sister, a little bit of childhood to her siblings that can never be lost and a wife who brings her husband good all the days of her life. A human life is a story told by God and the question isn’t about how many years she lived but how she lived. Sharon loved and appreciated all she had because she was living loved. Anyone who knew her found it easy to love her and though we miss her we can know that what we did for her here on earth we did for her forever because love leaves what death cannot steal (“love never ends,” 1 Cor.13:8). Peace and blessings to her family during this time until you meet again face to face.
