How sadden I was to learn of Sharon's passing. I fondly remember the days/nights when Sharon and Joanne would come to Dillard's and shop. We would laugh until our stomach's hurt. She was a wonderful person with an infectious smile. May you find peace in knowing what a wonderful angel Sharon was and will continue to be in your lives.

To Sharon's Family,
I worked with Sharon for a short time, and we discovered that we knew a mutual friend who had since passed away after a long fight with breast cancer. Sharon helped me through a very difficult time b/c she was going through the exact same thing. Sharon was an amazing woman and I watched her fight so hard and still with a smile on her face. I'm very sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers.

My thoughts and prayers continue to be with your family. I will never forget Sharon. I had the honor of working at the PLV district office with her for a few years. She made an immediate, positive impact in my life. She was there for the good and the bad that I went through & I will forever remember her positive attitude, strength, love & concern for others. I miss you Sharon.

To quote Mark Gregory, "The times we spent as friends and neighbors of Sharon and her family [in England] were the best of our lives". Sharon loved life and attacked it with such vigor and energy. Typical of Sharon, she once instigated a neighborhood water fight that ended up with me chasing her and my wife, Janelle, through our house with a garden hose. I can still hear Sharon laughing and shrieking with joy, like no one else could. We had such fun together. She will hold a place in our hearts forever.
