My husband (Uncommon) and I (Sweetie Pie) both knew Wild Flower while she was working for Jimmy Golden Trucking. I am sorry to hear she's gone. It's always sad to lose those we love. My heart and prayers go out to the family. This just makes our homecoming sweeter just knowing she's waiting.

To the Halley Family and all connected -I did not know Sharon, but know of the Halley names listed. Mother would have known all of you older ones, she was Ethel Barbee Richards on Angle Street. My love and sympathy in your loss of a loved one.

Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow,I am the birds in soundless flight, I am the stars that shine at night,I am the rain that falls from high, I am the clouds in the sky, Do not stand at my grave and cry I am not there I did not die. Every so often in this life we meet that one special person whos spirit is so great that it becomes apart of every one they touch. Sharon was such a person. And in that respect Sharon will live on in each and every one of us who have been bessed to call her friend.
