Sharon J. Sharp

Kip,
I was saddened to hear the news about your mom's passing. She made a lasting impression on me as a woman with great perspectives and determination. She was a leader to all women and she definately inspired me. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

I worked with Sharon during her tenure with the Illinois Lottery. A stand up lady and I viewed her as a good friend over the years. God Bless her and her family.

Laura and Kip I was so sorry to hear about your mom. What a wonderful, wonderful woman, I am so happy that we had a chance to see each other again at Aunt Helen's 90th birthday, each and every time we saw each other we would laugh and laugh, tell stories and catch up on the years gone by. My prayers and thoughts are with you both.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

As we go through life we have the opportunity to spend time with so many people. Some of these acquaintenances are short term and others endure. I was very lucky to have known Sharon for 16 years. She was always very upbeat and made people feel important. Sharon will be missed by all that had the joy of knowing her.

I first met Sharon when she was appointed Director of the Illinois Lottery. From that day forward she has always been a respected and visionary Lottery enthusiast who constantly looked for improvement and challenged others to succeed. She will be missed by me and others in the industry. My thoughts and prayers go out to her children, family and friends and condolences on your loss.

Dear Laura, Kip and Erin and family,

Philip and I would like to extend our deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother. She was a beautiful woman on the outside and the inside. We had some good times with Don and Sharon at the lottery conference. It was pleasure to have known her, and to be considered a friend. We will miss her.

Throughout the past 20 years I had the opportunity to work with Sharon. She was an extraordinary person who was always full of life. She will be missed by all of her family and friends. However, all of her good deeds will go on.
