I cannot remember when I never knew Sharon(affectionally called Bunni); she is the kindest most loving soul you could ever have the pleasure of knowing or even chance meeting her is a blessing. May God send His Holy Comforter to keep you all Gaye, Rudolph & Maria in your days, hours and moments of remembering your Dear Mother. God Bless you all.

Sharon Bryant was truly a DESIGNER'S original...No one else was like her. We met at Leslie Walton Middle School as fellow teachers. She always had a smile that lit up the space she was in like a halo. If You felt like a suck egg dog when You met up with her, You left her presence with a little more pep in your step and a wide smile on your face. She had lifted your spirit. My prayers and heart felt sympathy goes out to her family during this most difficult time in your life journey. You will never be alone because Sharon is right there in your hearts. Much love-- Waltine B. Eubanks, Esmont, VA.

Sharon was always such a happy, easy-going woman. She had a smile for everyone. My favorite memory of her is belting out the happy birthday song in the cafeteria at Walton Middle School for any child´s birthday. The kids always requested it! She was such a good human who loved her kids and grandkids so very much! My deepest condolences in your loss.

Dear Family of Sharon Bryant:
I am absolutely saddened by the news of your loved one's passing. When I served as a educator in the county of Albemarle, Sharon and I worked at the Leslie H. Walton Middle School. She was a kind and esteemed colleague. As years went by I ocassionally saw her at various church functions.
Sharon was a very kind, generous woman who was truly more concerned with the well-being of others; especially children.
May her memory be kept alive for as long as you think of her and in every good thing that you do for someone else.
My sincere condolences to the immediate family and all of those who were blessed to know her.
Sincerely- Jonathan Gatewood
