I think about Sharon every day when I read the "Jesus Calling" daily meditation guides that she gave me during 2015; she said I was her "Soul Sister." Many people still ask me about Sharon and then we share a special story about her zest for life. Sharon is dancing in heaven and praying for all of us.

I can't even think of words to explain how AMAZING Sharon Kelly is. A true Angel and pure goodness! I have added some photos of our Boston days together! We used to fly to San Juan Puerto Rico for the weekend to Salsa! WE flew to Miami one year for the Super Bowl! We didn't have tickets, but we joined the parties! Oh the dancing! I also re-call receiving a phone call one evening from Sharon asking if I felt like joining her in Venice Italy! "Oh just fly and we will meet you at the boat!" I didn't think twice about flying alone to another Country as I knew she would be there! What an amazing experience. She left this earth TOO soon! You will forever remain in my heart Sharon Kelly!!!!

Sharon Kelly was everyone's friend with a large heart and zest for life! She would tell me if you have a good attitude you will have a good, happy life and things will always work out. Good words that I will never forget.

Life is truly a gift and an even greater gift is using one's life to positively impact others. Sharon certainly lived her life in this way. She was one of the most spiritual people that I have known. Through her, I have become more cognizant of that side of my life. Even in the face of adversity, she imparted wisdom that I now use in my professional life. Knowing Sharon has made me a both a better person and a better physician. As I go forward, I will miss her deeply but I know the impact she had on me will live on--as will the impact she had on others. In that way she remains present in our lives and If we listen closely, I am sure we will hear her dancing across heaven's floor--until we meet again....

There will never be another Sharon Kelly; she was unique in every respect. From the moment I met her, I knew she was a beautiful person inside and out. Sharon made the world a better place because of her zest for life, her ability to make people feel special, her generous nature, her incredible enthusiasm, always smiling and laughing, her sense of adventure, and her spiritual nature radiated God's Presence in all of us. Sharon always said she and I were ***soul sisters.*** I will miss her dearly... I know Sharon is in heaven with God watching over her beloved family and her many, many, many friends.

Sharon will be greatly missed. I moved to Southern CA 19 years ago and along with our family was lucky enough to see her every so often over the years. I was really hoping she would be able to make another trip to the west coast. Condolences to her family

I will never forget how I met you---- what a fun night. You were my very first friend when I moved to Miami 13 years ago. Back then we had so much fun and were pretty darn crazy. Then our relationship changed and we didn't see each other so much. I still cherish our spontaneous meetings for dinner, cocktails, and celebrations. It was so good to know you were there and we could share the stories of our lives. I miss you so much. I'm grateful for having you in my life and I'm grateful I got to know Patrick and Karen. You had such great friends and an incredible family. You lived life bigger and bolder than anyone I ever knew. I always admired you I will always love you, Sharon Kelly. Good bye until we meet again.
Love, jeani

I have known Sharon since 1992 and knew we were going to be buds since she was from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and I was a newbie to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, more specifically Boston my new home! She made me and everyone around her feel welcome with a small and warm heart. I will miss our Sharon Kelly but never forget her as she was part of my life.

To all Sharon family and all her very special friends both near and far. We have all lost a special gift from God who made so many people happy with her Beautiful Smile and a personality that was like the Sun on a dark day, she has gone from us now and has returned to our Father in heaven and also back to her wonderful parents. But keep in mind now when you see the next big and bright Star in the sky you will no that, that is her smiling down on us and no she is Happy to be with her family in Heaven where there is no more sorrow and no more pain. Sharon you have Blessed many of us with your friend ship and I want to offer to you a special Thank you now go and fly like an Eagle to God's heavenly Kingdom and I am sure you will be raised up on the last day. May eternal rest grant unto her O Lord and may perpetual lights shine on her may her sole and all the soles of the faithfully departed through the mercy of God rest in eternal peace. Amen

May you be comforted by the outpouring of love surrounding you. Friends are the pillars on your porch. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes they lean on you, and sometimes it's just enough to know that they are standing by. They say love beyond the world cannot be separated by it. Death cannot kill what never dies. "Love never fails". 1Cor 13:8.
