Hi mom,
You’re on my mind every day. I would do anything to be with you. My heart breaks every time I think of you. A lot has changed since I you passed when I was 11. I’m 21 now and I just have one year of college left. Anyway, there’s so much I wish I could say. So much time has passed without you. I love and miss you every day. To lose you at 11 years old is something I will never understand. But I know one day we will meet again. I know you’ll be happy to hear that dad is my rock in my life, my best friend. I talk to him every day and I know he misses you every day. All my love. Until we meet again.

To my older sister my heart broke in two the day you passed away and since then I've only had half a heart it hurt me more than anything in my existence so far. I've never recovered.❤

Sharon, our 40th high school reunion was this past weekend. This is where I found out you were gone from this earth. Even though we lost touch after high school those 40 yrs ago, I felt a stab to my heart. You are a part of our history, a part of all that makes us us. Reading the beautiful comments written by your family and friends helped soothe the pain of your loss. Actually for You my fine friend it is a gain. To be walking in the presence of Jesus, to have his love for you confirmed, to never again have to live in faith but now in truth, is a gain like no other. We will see each other again when it's my time to come home. And what a legacy you leave with us here, of your children and grandchildren who are who they are having been touched by you. Blessings to your family.

Wow Mom,
How these past years have flew by!
As you can see, Cai is a handful...truly terrible twos!
And Loni, well as you know, she is always curious about you!
We love you and miss you always.
My heart is torn, as it will always be.

Sharon you are so missed by so many..Thanks for inspiring many of us to us and let us witness your devoted commitment to our Lord, and your wonderful family. Always an infectious smile, and always a positive attitude. So much, I will never forget, once how we stopped 100 times on Pershing Dr when you taught me how to drive a stick, and then you Anne-Marie and I laughed 100 more times that we almost ran out of gas! So many fond memories. From the births of our children, to the inspirational courage you have shown us all these past few years. We are all so blessed to have had you in our life. Love Always, MC & Family
